#1 Sorry John. It needs to be put down. Howard, Blair, Bush, Koizumi, Rasmussen, et. al. need to start talking about a new confederation of free countries to replace this League of Nations II. The authoritarian, totalitarian governments need not apply. The corrupt need not apply.

Now at least, we can drive one big hunking stake through the heart of the lie that the US contributed to WWII by not joining the League of Nations.

#4 Im with bman Its time to start a capitalist, democratic alliance. (I think the capitalist must be in thier I really fear that we are slowly being moved to a world socialist democratic gov hell even the repub's have already forgotten the contract with america and newt who got them back into power and are doing the old Big Gov Pork Lard crap they used to do, moral values are important but Big Gov slashing is number 1 the gov should sub out all work from the girl at the courthouse to the gov inspectors to everything schools should be vouchers were the good schools would thrive the bad ones disapear, and the military thats it)To join the alliance you would have to meet certian requirments of economic freedom, democratic standards, and human rights. The alliance would be a military alliance assuring war with one is war with all and that all would work together to promote democracy capitalims all around the world. The benefits for joining the alliance would be free trade of course, some shared technology, and the respect of being the true Super Super Power this alliance would be as soon as it was formed.

The UN could be kept and the alliance would just have a massive block vote in the UN, breaking up the UN and forming a new alliance may cuase the outcast to form a competing alliance with maybe china or russia in the lead for fear of survival. Keeping the UN would ensure the norm to some point while at the same time allowing the new alliance the ability to grow and overtake the old from within while not freekin the whole world out to much. NATO would be a good start but we would have to get rid of the veto powers and rewrite the docs a bit to be more than just a military defensive alliance more into economic and democratic alliance.

Just imagine the US most of Europe together through the idea of threating to shut off the new found economic success of China in return of just some real democratic concesions from China. The Chineese gov would have to work with us their people who have now seen and felt the good life would freek if it all went away because their leaders wouldnt give them more freedom something they want anyway.

#6 You wanna fix the UN, every nation that does not follow the UN Declaration on Human Rights doesn't get a vote in the General Assembly or Security Council.

That would knock out 90% of the UN right there and do it according to the UN's stated principles.

#7 Although politics might also knock the US out of voting in such a system I think it would be great to see the Muslim world justify wife beating, slavery, and their anti-religious stance despite these bing things specifically banned by the UN Declaration of Human rights.
