Is that third quoted graph an attempt at satire? I can't find it in the article you quoted. Posted by: CJ at January 7, 2005 11:38 AMYes. As is the Rwanda quote. Posted by: Bill at January 7, 2005 11:52 AMDoes the world need an organization like the United Nations? Posted by: SemiPundit at January 7, 2005 12:23 PMNo. Posted by: Bill at January 7, 2005 12:35 PMDoh!!! I skimmed right past the Rwanda quote. Obviously, had I recognized that line, my question about the other line would have been completely unnecessary. My apologies :-) Posted by: CJ at January 7, 2005 04:10 PMWhat do we need, then? Posted by: SemiPundit at January 8, 2005 12:33 AMIf we are to have an international body, it should consist only of those nations that have some form of representative government - a Council of Democracies. The world's dictators and tyrants should not have membership. Posted by: Bill at January 8, 2005 08:16 AMAnd that would include France? Posted by: SemiPundit at January 9, 2005 09:11 AMPost a comment
