i wonder what they are thinking in eastern europe.. how very odd it seems... seeing the polarization of europe developing, NATO, the EU.. alliances shifting..

i wonder if any mechanisim exists to effect substantive change in the seating arrangements at the UN secuity council.. i.e. the addition of seats, the removal of seats.. or a change of residence.
