Steel2Velvet 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 From the Associated Press after the pope addressed the UN: "Pope Benedict XVI warned diplomats at the United Nations on Friday that international cooperation needed to solve urgent problems is 'in crisis' because decisions rest in the hands of a few powerful nations." This from the Big Cheese of that oh-so-democratic institution, the Catholic Church. Uh huh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ombre Vivante 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Why would anyone want important global decisions being made by a bunch of countries that have no power to do anything about it? They can pass all the resolutions they want, but who's gonna fork over the cash and man power? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
