Democracy Bloc at the UN
This is a great idea, and one I missed the first time it came around. It seems that the US has finally gotten tired of the U.N. being a big dictators club (the membership of the U.N. human rights committee is particularly appalling) and is doing something about returning the U.N. to some sort of sane and moral mission. More here about the newly forming democracy bloc at the U.N. in a Reason article by Jonathan Rauch.
The idea has been given new currency with the growing movement to draft Vaclav Havel to replace the reprehensible and corrupt Kofi Annan, a movement currently being cheerled by Glenn Reynolds
