Equal voice

After providing his opinions of Kofi Annan and the BBC's coverage of the death of Sheikh Yassin, Banagor recounts a conversation he recently had during which he asked a very pointed question:
A few more things: two nights ago, I was having dinner with some people from Europe and I was engaged in a conversation with a French girl. Nice as she was, she obviously disagreed with me on certain issues involving the War on Terror.

Naturally, after some lengthy debate, we got around to the issue of the United Nations. She thought that we should listen to all parties equally well and that everyone in the world should have a say in everyone's affairs.

I put to her a simple question: "If the Nazis were around today, would you agree that they should have an equal voice in the United Nations as well?"

What would your answer be? I know what mine is. I refer you to a previous post.
