Still not convinced

Yeah, I guess I'm still not convinced that we should require a democratic form of government. In addition to the arguments I made previously, while, as far as history has taught us, it's the worst form of government except for all the others, I question how smart or strategic it is to shut out from global governance all states that aren't democracies, or even loosely considered democracies. That's a pretty good portion of the globe.

Do I think Libya should chair a human rights commitee? No. But do I think we want them at the table, yes. We're seeing all to clearly what disenfranchised people do when denied a seat at the table...even when legitimately denied such a seat. If our goal is to increase peace and security, I think we can't just turn our backs and only talk to "people like us."
