THe thing about a League of Democracies is that it would have to include Russia, which is nominally democratic (as is Zimbabwe, incidently). And since someone else thinks it should also include China just because, then we’re right back with Britain, USA, Russia, China and France being in it. I’m failing to see where this would be a step in any new direction, in an oil-for-money scam sort of way.

I also disagree with the commenter above who said that we cannot pull out of the UN. We’ve already pulled out of their upcoming conference on racism. I predict that in the future, we’ll be pulling out of more and more UN-funded confernences and projects until all that’s left is a final tug on the plug. But by that time, they’ll be based in Algeria, will have lots of other things to worry about, and probably won’t even notice.
