Here's a link to the BBC iPlayer stream of this morning's TODAY show: scroll to the 49:00 mark to experience Denis Halliday's powerful words, sorry if this link doesn't work with non-UK countries: maybe someone will youtube/vimeo this landmark show at some point.
* The United Nations Security Council has mostly failed us since 1945.
* Is war good for corporate and state profits? Yes, it is.
* Is Democracy at work in the Security Council? No, veto-power is.
* Is the UNSC representative of the world? No, it needs better decisions. [content edited]

IT WAS A CORKER about overstepping the Profit-mark in the name of Corporate War.
"Free Planet, Free Planet, Free Planet," it's the only way, to be sure.
