It isn't. George Bush is. Or thinks he is. And we Canadians know we are the real
moral authorities.

“We do not think that there is an incompatibility between words and deeds; the
worst thing is to rush into action before the consequences have been properly
debated…To think of the future and wait was merely another way of saying one was
a coward; any idea of moderation was just an attempt to disguise one’s unmanly
character; ability to understand a question from all sides meant that one was
totally unfitted for action.” – Pericles about his fellow-Athenians, as quoted by
Thucydides in “The Peloponessian Wars”

[ZION] United Nations

[Cousin Bill]

The following article makes an argument against the United Nations that,
thought I had never heard before, makes perfect sense, and leads me to
wonder why I had never heard it before.  (I'm also slightly embarrassed that
I had never thought of it before.)

The argument in a nutshell:

When did the United Nations become the supreme moral authority of the world?
One might advance such a proposition if most of the organization were
represented by democratic governments, but that is not the case. Of the 191
nations in the United Nations only about 40 percent (85 countries) are
democratic societies that enjoy political rights and civil liberties. The
rest are either controlled by dictators or by a one-party government.
