UN draft on nuclear Iran tabled

[Avicenna]

Nah, the west has not been more belligerent than the rest, it has just waged war better.
Also, our internal peace and wealth has not been achieved at the expense of others. It has been achieved by a long, slow ascendency into democracy and the rule of law.

That's stretching it a bit, but at heart, I'm afraid that is my view, yes. I have never been a fan of cultural relativism. I hold the universal declaration of human rights for universal indeed. That is my western style freedom. 'Western' to include countries like Japan in this respect.

Countries like Sudan, Iraq, Burma and North Korea suck not because of some evil western imperialist plot. They suffer not from too much western influence, but from too little.

Say what, let the west open it's borders and offer a free plane ticket, then let's see how the people from these countries vote between theirs and ours.

Well I for one choose my own country.

Reenk: Are you doing or teaching Achebe for GCSE? Or do you just enjoy his work? Also, Carthage was in imperialist power.

Joker: No country would say "F off" to that, it's just a ridiculous way of answering because you have nothing to say.
