Why on earth is Obama calling for a UN Security Council resolution, essentially against Russia? Doesn't he know Russia has a veto? Isn't it crazy to think that Russia will vote against its national policy? Does Obama understand this? Or is this just the sort of thing Democrats must say whenever something bad happens? What am I missing?Update: Aha, I stand corrected: Jonah, RE: Obama calling for a UN Security Council resolution, you discuss Russia's veto on the Security Council. According to Article 27 of the UN Charter, a party to a dispute must abstain from voting, so Russia could not exercise its veto. However, they can probably depend on China to veto on their behalf.Me: I assume the reader is right about China (given Tibet and all), but the Chinese must nonetheless be exceedingly cross with Russia given how much this has stepped on the Olympics. Update II: I should quit while I'm ahead -- or a bit behind -- but I could've sworn that there was more to this than the above reader suggested. After all, the only time I can remember when the UN Security Council voted decisively against the wishes of a permanent member was the famous episode authorizing the Korean War police action when the Soviet rep walked out before the vote. Anyway, here's an email from a different reader: Dear Jonah, Regarding your recent post on the UN Charter: Your reader failed to cite the full Article 27, which only calls for a member of the Security Counci ...

Jonah, I think the Kennedy administration, as part of a much broader strategy that included a blockade and the threat of a pre-emptive attack, sought a Security Council resolution during the Cuban missile crisis. Among steps outlined by JFK in his speech to the nation on October 21, 1962, was: Under the Charter of the United Nations, we are asking tonight that an emergency meeting of the Security Council be convoked without delay to take action against this latest Soviet threat to world peace. Our resolution will call for the prompt dismantling and withdrawal of all offensive weapons in Cuba, under the supervision of U.N. observers, before the quarantine can be lifted. This has to be viewed through the lens of history. In 1962, the U.S. regarded the UN as a possible forum for advancing the diplomatic prong of a multi-part strategy that prominently and unmistakably included the promise of decisive military force if the Soviets did not back down quickly. (Significantly, Kennedy added -- in a way one could imagine McCain, but not Obama, doing instinctively -- that 'This Nation is prepared to present its case against the Soviet threat to peace, and our own proposals for a peaceful world, at any time and in any forum -- in the OAS, in the United Nations, or in any other meeting that could be useful -- without limiting our freedom of action') (emphasis added). By Iraq I (1990-91), the UN had moved from being a possible forum to the obvi ... Source: www.dw-world.de --- 20 days ago
