More thoughts on the UN

At the moment, the vote counters tell us that Russia, France, China, Germany and Syria are against (5) and that United States, Britain, Spain and Bulgaria (4) are in favor and Cameroon, Chile, Angola, Guinea, Pakistan, Mexico are undecided (6).

What if instead of Germany, Italy "happened" to be on the UN Security Council? And while we are at it, what if Czech Republic held the spot instead of Cameroon? And lastly, what if Kuwait was in a coveted seat in place of Syria?

That would be 3 votes against, 7 in favor with 5 undecided. How do you think the 5 undecided (Chile, Angola, Guinea, Pakistan and Mexico) might vote if the tables were slanted in this direction?

The point being simply this: UN Authorization is nice to have but the vote count means nothing in regards to the rightness or wrongness of military action. If the war is wrong, a UN stamp doesn't make it right. Likewise, if a war is right, a UN red light means nothing.
