>>I really don't know. It is a pity that the UN doesn't have the power to enforce resolutions, and, of course, the resolutions are supposed to be enforced.

The country that has used the veto more than any other is the US.
Do you believe that the US should lose the right to veto any resolution ?
At the current time, the US & GB look like they may have a struggle to get a majority to agree to a 2nd resolution authorising war passed, so there would be no use of a veto, in that event would you agree that the US should not go to war ? If it fails to get the resolution, isn't "going it alone" tantamount to a veto on that resolution.
