A League of Democracies
The concept of a League of Democracies has merit. If....
If we would pull out, or at least limit our involvement in the U.N.
If it limited its role to specific areas that were not issues of sovereignty of member states.
If the members were unified in their stance against aggressive behavior such as that of Iran or North Korea.
If -- well, you get the picture.
Otherwise it just becomes another "death-by-committee" stroke by the purveyors of a one-world government. Please, Senator McCain, don't go down that road.
