Why is everyone so concerned about this? It's not like there's any concern that Venezuela is going to get on the Security Council and ruin the UN's sterling reputation as a preventer of war, barbarism and totalitarianism, after all. Truth be told, we really should move the UN out of New York. My personal vote goes to one of those secret prisons in Eastern Europe where soldiers torture inmates for fun. So what’s the big deal?
