  18. The main problem is that the politics of the General Assembly is
  19. corrupt.  The General Assembly has one vote per nation and most
  20. of them are tiny.  It has voted in favor of terrorism, disguised
  21. as a resolution affirming the right of people everywhere to use
  22. "all means necessary" to secure their "national liberation".  The
  23. U.S. pointed out that this resolution appeared to sanction terrorism,
  24. provided it was carried out in the name of national liberation.
  25. Needless to say, the U.S. argument got nowhere.
  26.  
  27. The General Assembly members would also vote that the richer countries
  28. should pay money to the poorer ones with no requirement that the
  29. poor countries improve their economies.
