I agree with WC, but I see Alexsau1991's point (about the Council not about Thatcher/Reagan). I think whether or not humanity is in control of the Council or not will effect the tone and tenor of the first Shepard/Council meeting in ME3 but not the result. Ultimately, if it's because they are fractured by the self-preservation interests of their respective races like Ironreaper suggests (good point!), because they are simply too paralyzed by shock, fear, and conflicting strategy to move into immediate action, or because, as I believe, they simply suck, Shepard will have to fight at least the first few battles on his own without the Council.
