Terrific--Yoshie claims to be in favor of real UN democracy. So am I. Of course, that would entail a) the governments of despotic states wouldn't be represented, since the will of such regimes (contra Hobbes) rarely reflects anything like the collective will of the peoples they govern and b) nations would be represented in a manner proportional to their populations (e.g. France should have a lot more say than Luxembourg).
