In the United Nations, you have poor nations and rich nations. They say that the most powerful bloc in the U.N. is the African-Asian bloc. These are the poor nations, yet they carry more weight in this political body than the nations do who have all the money. Why? Because no matter how wealthy America is, she only has one vote. No matter how wealthy Russia is, she only has one vote. Whereas all the poor nations in Africa who have just emerged into independence, they have each a vote too and they stick together and are able to outmaneouver the rich nations.
