Russia and Iran are democracies, though they're government institutions are political rather than bereaucratic (ie politicization of the state). I'm not quite sure what they're trading in the UN though if you care to elaborate, and I'm pretty sure the UN's intention is to resolve/minimize international disputes and uphold human rights, though dictatorships are far more likely to create these problems then true democracies. And the democracies in charge of this (the UN security council) are doing a pretty miserable job so far. Don: That was a very articulate comment though I would disagree with it.

All governments are corrupt, but most governments are more corrupt than that of the US, in share, if not in total amount skimmed. Less corrupt governments tend to be democracies. Having the likes of Iran, Cuba, China, and Saudi Arabia in a body whose function is to restrict the operations of dictatorships is rather like inviting your local mafia dons to your District Attorney meetings.
