He also said the U.N. "doesn't work" in its current system and is "antidemocratic." He called for reform, saying the U.S. government's "immoral veto" had allowed recent Israeli bombings of Lebanon to continue unabated for more than a month.

"Venezuela once again proposes today that we reform the United Nations," he said.

Funny, when the US Congress called for that, reform of the UN, the righteous indignation of the World of Wogcraft rose up to protest that the US wasn't "paying its dues." Reforming the UN begins with accoutability, and financial transparency, as well as exposure of the patronage networks and nepotism in its daily workings. I have yet to see a bureaucrat, UN or otherwise, who handled that well, particularly in the tea room atmosphere of "diplomatic circles."

Quote:Now, why are we still donating $5 Billion/year to these chubs? More than 50% of the nations in the UN are non-Democratic. OTOH, the US, Japan and Western Europe contribute 75% of the funds for this collection of criminals. Without us, they are done. When will we learn?

Chavez and a number of the Isolationist rhetoriticians in the US are in good company: they find the UN to be undemocratic, but for different reasons.

Chavez, the Saddam Hussein of South America. Lord love a duck, and Brazil.
