No. Just no.

What if an enemy nation sends some "observers" to your country? And do they ever have to leave? The resolution doesn't cover that, and so I am against. That's a pretty big loophole that could allow people in to your country that might do harm to your people. (Especially at election time, the "terrorist alert" ratings in the US always go up, because it's a prime time for attack.)

And I just clicked for instead of against.
Make sure to not count that one.

Note: the jury is still out on whether this is legal or not.
