Heavy language, but anyway, interesting article PING.
This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Lee Harris, David Warren, Orson Scott Card. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).
It sounds like a wonderfull idea. I would love to see an organization along these lines. Sadly Western Europe would never agree to most of th policies laid out in this essay. But it is possible for the democracies to unite even if they disagree.
Bump for later
I have LONG thought that this is the response that the REAL democracies should take with respect to the UN (i.e. they should drop membership in the UN and set up a new organization with essentially the identical policies outlined here).
