Blame instead those who would paralyze it without just cau se.” DePinies said the permanent council members’ veto power is the reason the principle of one-country, one-vote exists in the U.N. General Assembly. The assembly is the only major part of the U.N. in which all members are represented. But even that principle gets abused, be said. to the fad that many states. pent decisions that have little ilt I mam ial implications lor (hem.

You might remember how much misery reli gious war brought the Middle East in the Middle Ages. But you see, that’s what they have done — to go back to the Middle Ages. I don’t think all the Iranians think the same way, because they have known some other things. So far I think that the (best) in terests of both superpowers and people at large will be that the conflict finishes — and, if not. that it gets balance. I think we’ll have to wait until one of the two chiefs of state passes away... . The casualties are larger in Iran. But the Iraqis have their share as well. I think it’s a war of attrition. equipped to prevent anutlul world war? And you might say why doesn’t the United Nations cope with it? The United Nations /ia.s coped with it. T he problem is that yon can’t go further than a certain limit of decisions.
