Re: Antigua Gov launching legal pirate site?

It's more complicated than "control". The 5 declared nuclear powers at the
time the security council was devised are all permanent members, with a
veto that cannot be overruled. So the US can't always get its way with the
security council, but it can keep anyone else from getting theirs. In
practice, this makes a number of states practically immune to some or all
actions of the security council, .Even Iran and North Korea are well
sheltered from the most aggressive of actions by this arrangement...
