The veto is a brilliant tool, because it helps keep the peace. The only real problem with the veto is that it should probably be expanded to India and maybe Brazil.

lol, what utter bullshit, it's the single biggest barrier to world peace as delegitamises the entire existence of the UN, so long as the superpowers have the veto then their will never be world peace nor any real progress in peace in a lot of regions, it makes the entire idea of a United Nations redundant as it's essentially only allowed to function when the USA/China/Russia/UK allow it to.

I actually meant to make that post longer, but got distracted midway through then later submitted just what i had.

The security council and the veto understands the mistakes of the League of Nations. The problem with the League was that it ended up isolating a few of the major powers, namely Germany and Japan, who felt as though they were being diplomatically bullied and abused by the mainstream powers. World Peace is about making sure that the guys who are capable of launching World War feel that their diplomatic presence is equivalent to their military might, and hence, the veto. While the veto allows things like a lack of action against Syria or Iran or Israel, it also guarantees multipolarity, so long as the acknowledged major powers actually have different interests, and don't just collaborate to dump on the other countries.

The key to peace is balance.
