League of Democracies

Republican presidential nominee John McCain favors what is being called a “league of democracies.” While the details behind would probably have to be more clarified like everything else, it is essentially an international organization of like minded countries.

McCain’s speech about his ideas

In a different time, this might have seemed like a “good” idea, however when you consider that the United Nations, which serves a similar international purpose in a diverisfied form, is probably the reason for this plan. In 2003, the U.N. prevented the U.S. from getting full international support of attacking Iraq until the Weapons of Mass Destruction were located…. hummm, it turns out they were right, there were no weapons of mass destruction to be found. Maybe we should listen to people of differing opinions!
