Voice from the Commonwealth Commentary, World Views and Occasional Rants from a small 'l' libertarian in Massachussetts

Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

"A smart fellow...I do like, recommend and learn from Barbera's blog." -Roger L. Simon
"Your blog is bullshit"- anonymous angry French reader.

"The new world order must be multi-polar," Putin said following talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao in the Kremlin. "It must respect the interests of all and be built on a clear understanding of international rights," Mr Putin said.
He states this as if the two ideas were somehow tied together. A multi-polar world must automatically assume a 'clear understanding of human rights'. Oh yes, that pole in Moscow for 50 years under Communist rule, offering a 'counter-weight' to America, was very concerned about international rights. I have no problem with a 'multi-polar' world but, let's be honest. The number of 'poles' is not necessarily related to world peace.
The Western Civilization and Democracy Net Ring celebrates Western civilization and its universal values of individual freedom, political democracy and equal rights for all. All sites promoting human rights and democracy are welcome.
