Maybe that's what should be done after all. The UN
has a great function: prevent a global war. Period.
But if we want the UN to be the world g*vernment,
then it's stupid to put dictator representatives
[instead of people representatives] there.

True, and now we're back where we were some months ago.
What we'd like is a League of Democratic States but we all know
that no one, especially not any "power" (read USA, UK, France...),
will agree to give up power to a higher instance.
