I too want a seat in the security council..

:)
i cant stop smilin..
a few weeks back.. the hopes of the G4 were dashed to the ground.. when the african union.. the largest representative in the UN in terms of seats...refused to support the G4 bid to gain a permament seat.

their excuse.. india has not been a good friend in the last few yrs and hasnt done all tat much to help the poorer african brethren...
true.. when our economy is boomin.. y shud we bother lookin at our poorer neighbours...???
( i kno.. very capitalistic..but then.. face it.. only the super developed and super rich can afford a philanthropic foreign program..!!!)

but let that be.. the reason for the smile on my face tday is not the above.. but a piece of news i read yesterday in TOI..
Kenya.. is tryin to lobby for a permament seat in the UN SC... and as part of its campaign..
the kenyan govt lent an assortment of 175 wild animals.. to a private zoo in thailand.. which is a pet project of the current prez there.. in return.. thailand now supports kenya's bid for a seat in the UNSC..

W-O-W..!!!

i guess (175 X N) more animals..(where N= no of votes necessary for a majority in the UN house)...n voila..!!
kenya gets the much coveted permanent seat...!!!
brilliant campaign srategy no folks..??
:))
offcourse.. at the time of writing this... my imaginary best friend..( my dog 'bobo').. did mention somethin abt cruelty to the animals.. and nobody askin those poor animals if they wanted to be part of the campaign..!
but then.. bobo's voice is after all.. imaginary....virtual.. he dint really say it.. did he..?
