#2 Lol - OIC - the gift that keeps on giving. Since the UN is as useless as tits on a boar hog, this is at least twice as funny. Or is it twice as funny because they don't realize the UN is worthless?

Don't they know you have to be this tall:

#3 MaÃ±ana, maybe, or the day after maÃ±ana. On second thought, well, NO.

Thank you.

#4 MaÃ±ana conveys too much of sense of urgency in relation to this proposal.

#5 Negative, negative, negative....

They deserve a chance to take their rightful place on the UNSC. Put 'em on a waiting list, along with a seat for Catholics, Methodists, Orthodox Jews, Disciples of Christ, Hindus, Progressive Jews, Hare Krishnas, Presbyterians, Buddists, Hasedic Jews, Lutherans, Mormans, Wiccans, and Tom Cruise's Scientologists, among others....

#6 ...Rosecrucians, Santarians, Voodooists, Druids, Ra, Animists, Four Square, Snakehandlers, the ever popular Seventh Day Adventists...

#7 You guys are too much. And here I wuz, thinking in simple terms like, don't you have to be a freakin' country (not a group bound by religion) to have a seat on the UNSC? Man, I guess I'm to red-state thinkin' in simple terms for the OIC.

#8 The only members of the UNSC should be "powers". Not just economic and military, but willing to commit a significant percentage of that military to UNSC goals. This means its membership should be the US, Russia, and China. Conditional on developing a military and deploying it, should be the EU and Japan. These should be the sum total of *voting* members. Three non-voting members would be ASEAN (excepting China and Japan), a South American bloc and an African bloc. If in future a Middle East Common Market is created, then it should also be included as a non-voting bloc. The motivation is for economically and militarily weak nations to join forces until they become de facto powers in their own right. Only then do they deserve anything akin to a veto. (And, if they do exhibit such growth, they would most likely no longer need the intervention of the UNSC in their territory.)

#9 Gee, then we'll need to give one to the Vatican and those yahoos in Salt Lake City. We'd need a Hindu seat, and a Shinto seat. Not to mention those South American jungle tribes with the ,er, curious ideas of religion...
