Listening on the radio to Bushes speech at Whitehall on Wednesday I noted that he featured the ideals of world wide democratic expansionism as a goal for free thinking nations.
He also purported the need for the UN to break out of its apathetic mode and take action against the threats to democracy across the world. Or face the same fate as the League of Nations.
The paradox is of course is that if the constituant members of the UN vote against the ideals of democratic expansionism. Then they have democratically come to a decision which, in a world democracy, the minority should abide by.
From which we see that, where as national democracy is seen as a good thing, world democracy as exercised through the UN is subject to minority national interests which (if powerfull enough) will ignore and even contradict the democratically derived decisions it forms.

But if the UN followed Bushes sugestion it would lead to a joint attack on the US. Oh thats right. What Dubya means is a united action against anyone with out a veto...or nukes.
People without Vetos or Nukes are bad guys.
Get the bad guys!
Especially if they have oil.

Some duchess had offered to sleep with him in jest for a £1000.00 and was offended when he offerred a penny.
