The US administration seems to be faced with a reality far different from what rest of the world is facing. The "BUSH WHITE BOYS" are now setting to rewrite the latest UN charter to rid this world of poverty and perhaps change the conflict based relationships between slaves and masters. They are now wanting to Americanize the UN charter, as if rest of the world is here to serve uncle Sam. Of course as usual Western Europe is on board sort-a-kind-a, you see, that is because they want the UN to be Europeanized. Its not that they care about Africa, Middle East, Poverty, Aids, or anything else. They both are concerned about this matters only as it relates to their own well being.
I just wished they would say that its all about themselves. I can sympathize with that sort of candor and frankness. What pisses me off is Bush and Europeans acting holier that though and making this hegemony seem like a high moral stand by kicking around empty words like democracy and freedom.
The modern powers (after WW2) have never encouraged freedom and democracy in deed. What ever democratic movements have succeeded since then were because people fought for them, not because Europe or US have allowed it. The democracy has only been used by West to further its prosperity and security.
