Come on now! While most of the world gives credibility

If you are so
intelligent and so intellectually superior to the rest
of the world that
you can make such a statement of Absolute Truth (thus
implying that
hundreds of thousands of politicians and diplomats
worldwide are all
wrong), surely you should have no problem whatsoever
figuring out what I mean!

O.k., let's try the parphrase trick.
Do you believe the letting the Communist Dictatorship
of the People's Republic of China veto decision is a
"democratic principle?"
Do you believe that the UN Security Council "veto
power" is a democratic principle?
Do you believe that the principle of "one country, one
vote" is a democratic principle?
If you answered "no" to any of the above questions,
then is not the United States upholding democratic
principles by rejecting the authority of the
non-democratic United Nations?
