Paris Today
Posted by Eitan Mon, 15 Nov 2010 00:19:00 GMT
Recently I came across a very interesting web site about the state of Paris today. Apparently it's very risky for a Frenchman to make such information public. Anyhow, I thought this link merited a post.
United Free Nations?
Posted by Eitan Mon, 15 Nov 2010 00:06:00 GMT
It occurred to me recently why countries that are not free are even eligible to be members of organizations such as the UN. You'd think there'd be some minimum criteria that a nation would have to meet: i.e. to be a democratic nation, to be a country where its people are free, where free speech is allowed for example.
Just the idea that membership is predicated upon a free society can go a long way. Instead we have this thing called the UN giving equal representation to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Iran, Syria, North Korea, China, Libya, Sudan, Myanmar, and dozens of other countries ruled with an iron fist.
So here's my proposition: why don't democratic countries:
- withdraw from the UN
- get together and create a new organization, called UFN (United Free Nations) that promotes the interest of free nations and freedom?
