Stuff you grow is the same the world over. I'm talking about processed goods and manufactured goods. People in the industrialized world pay more for the same type of goods performing the same function as those in 3rd world, but these items are of higher quality.

China was placed on the security council with veto power because China was part of the big 5 victors in WW2. As the colonel said, that was the KMT China, not communist China. Communist China was recognized by the world in the 70s, I believe. That's when the security council seat and the veto power went from KMT to the commie China today.

UN has no credibility within the US. Only the euro-wannabes in the US actually think of the UN as something more legitimate in international affairs than my home owners association.

Now you know how we feel.
