Should we concentrate most of our resources among our true friends, pull back, and let the rest of the world sort itself out? |
|
Only problem with that is- the rest of the world is a big place. Without some sort of intervening they could get enough of them together and that could be a force to be reckoned with. Not too many friendly's that on our side anymore.... I think an intelligent strategy is what we need. The enemy of my enemy becomes my friend- a lesser of two evils.

If you want other good countries to go bad, like Germany, Japan, China, Russia, France, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, etc, etc, then yes. Otherwise, this is stupid. Anglo countries are far too vanilla. Trust me, the anglo world does not have the best ideas out there. We need to concentrate on our best allies and most powerful trade partners. It is a strategic race to see who will be a friend of the USA and who will be a friend of China.

No, but I do like the idea of an Anglospheric alliance or even an international organization to replace the UN consisting only of Western or very West-aligned countries and not being universal like the UN. |

Being Dutch it might sound strange but iI feel countrys from the Anglo sfeer have a greater appreciation for personal freedom than the ones on continental Europe (exeptions for the Swiss, but they generally mind their own buisness in their mountain fortess  ).
One of the great failings of the USA is not promoting the values of the bill of rights internationally, like when president Calderon called for a AWB he should have been tar and fethered on the spot for being a corrupt 3rd world POS that would deny his people basic human rights. In my opinion the BOR IS superior to any UN resolution and should be promoted as such. |

Seems that all of the liberal Western countries have fallen considerably except perhaps the Swiss and some of the American States. |

It's too bad your country gave that up among other freedoms. An interesting thing about the Dutch Republic is that it had a monarch as the head of state; the idea of a republic being exclusively non-monarchical had not come about yet as republicanism was a larger idea relating to the structure of government (which is why we looked at the Dutch). Interestingly, the House of Orange was among those solicited by early Americans for a monarch before the Constitution was created and ratified. I'm not sure who was solicied explicitly (the only person I know of by name was ofa different house, Prince Henry of Prussia, who turned down the job of king of the U.S.). There are also poems from the time praising the freedom lovingness of the American revolution and condeming the way of the French revolution.

I have my doubts, personally. The central government is continuing to increase its power and destroy the power of subsidiaries (it's been steadily doing this since the war we had regarding secession) which ironically is the exact thing that caused the 13 colonies to secede from the UK. The principle of subsidiarity was a huge aspect of Anglo political culture at the time and for some time after that. States may try individually to become freer but the national government may ultimately thwart them i this effort and they don't have the power to oppose like they used to. The UK has gone much further down the road to serfdom and due to the similarities in political culture we can easily head very far down that road given how much purchase ideas originating from the French Revolution (such as democratism) have gained in this country. I think the West is close to the point of no return and it will take multiple Western countries reversing the current trend against freedom and revitalizing and promoting Western culture instead of the masochism we have now to fix things. Liberty is very much a product of Western civilization and if the West irreperably falls into illiberalism then liberty has no hope to survive anywhere in the world, sadly. Unfortunately the West seems hell-bent on rejecting its heritage and committing suicide with the Continent being the worst in this regard. |

But other than that it would be sweet if they had better free trade and visa practices between us all. South Africa can join when the system doesn't result in people like Zuma and Mbeki coming to power or parties like the ANC. They should also have to ensure the interests of our Western brethren there are represented. Not sure how the Afrikaners would feel about being in an Anglospheric anything but I'm sure the Britishers wouldn't mind, same with those in other parts of Africa like Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, and Zambia to name the countries with sizeable populations that come to the top of my head. |

I really hope the USA on a federal level hets back into the game in 2012, the recent elections at least showed me that you guys arent exactly embracing socialism. I know about the stadhouders as that system of heading government was looked at for the United States by our Founders. My understanding, if the European guy I learned it from was correct (and I have no reason to doubt him), is that they weren't so much neutered as incorporated into a proper system of checks and balances which limited their power compared to other monarchs on the Continent (the only thing comparable at the time I can think of would be the UK's monarchy). A neutered monarchy is what you have now, which IMO is to your country's detriment. The UK is a perfect example of how when the monarch detaches from politics, especially when the upper House of the legislature also is taken out, the results can be rather ugly as it gives the lower House and prime minister free reign most of the time and in a democratic system socialism tends to be the natural result. I also have my doubts about Europe climbing out of socialism. Unless it collapses completely I think it will likely stick around. The problem in the U.S. is that any time the Right or those claiming to be on the Right (false claims being an issue and common by Republican politicians) they almost never repeal anything; at best they hold the line, at worst they make compromises that still result in expansion of government power just to a lesser degree than the Democrats desired or the Republicans for their own purposes expand government. So government continues to grow no matter who is in charge and continues to slide down the dangerous path. The national government also doesn't stop gaining more power or destroying the power of subsidiaries. They've already pretty much neutered everything but the States and even they can't all stand up. It' pretty sad what a shadow we have become of ourselves but then of course the same can be said for most of Europe and the few other Western countries as well. |

I do think if we created something to replace the UN it should promote liberal government including the adoption of a bill of rights modeled after ours rather than the stupid crap the UN has which doesn't really deal with genuine rights. |

It shouldn't be based on them being democracies. We really need to stop with promoting such a bad system of government. What should be the emphasis is liberalism but there should also, IMO, especially given the status of the West today, be a Western emphasis. Ratification of something along the lines of our Bill of Rights (adapted to the traditions and customs of the members) should be a requirement for membership. And we built up China because we thought it would make things worse for the Soviets. I doubt the Soviets would have lasted much longer had the ChiComs continued to have been rejected to include a lack of recognition for their government (we recognized Nanking/Taipei not Peking). I agree it was a bad move. Seems a lot of Kissinger's ideas turned out badly (Rhodesia and South Africa among them, of course). |
