"NEW YORK (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI warned diplomats at the United Nations on Friday that international cooperation needed to solve urgent problems is "in crisis" because decisions rest in the hands of a few powerful nations."

Welcome. Welcome Mr. Pope. You are correct. Since the beginning of time, power has rested in the few and put to the masses. This is not some 21st Century ideal. It is the basis of Society, Government and Way of life. If power was in the hands of the many, then the saying, which has become politically incorrect, "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians." would occur. So in order for society to function a smaller group has to be established to represent the views of the many. I know, a Philosophical insight in such a small dose.
