Why? If I want investment advice, I don't go to a guy who has filed bankruptcy 3 times in his life. If I want advice on how to combat terrorism, I'm not gonna look to the Netherlands or France where Islamic extremism is likely to erupt in a big way in the next few decades.
I'm not saying that all opinions are worthless, but a majority of countries saying something in unison doesn't mean much unless those countries have credibility on the subject matter.
