text: if venezuela had won a seat at the un, would it have been positive or negative? why? both, one they really need it and deserve it too as un is about being fair to one and all, but their hugo chavez is a crazy guy , he is anti capitalism/free market , is doing everything from nationlizing oil companies to supporting iran on nuclear issue, giving them a seat in security council at his rule would in a way convince people that we all agree with his actions, worse still it may embolden him, not giving him a seat would be detrimental to the image of un as being a stooge of developed countries and even china which has an ulteiror motive is their. many people just consider un as a forum where countries let out thier frustation but any action is hardly taken, so not giving a smaller country a chance would only worsen the situation.
