I’ve been giving a little (but not much more than that) thought to what comes after the UN, once we give them their walking papers and boot them to Brussels, or Paris, or Lagos.

What we need is an organization of United Free Nations, and this one will have real admission criteria. There’s only one country in the Middle East that would currently qualify (guess which one), though in a few weeks, we may have another one, and much of Africa would be out in the cold. As would China.

France would be allowed in, but if it had a security council, they certainly wouldn’t be on it.

Anyway, I was just doing a little search, and ran across this piece by Barry Farber from a couple years back.

I also found a reference to the concept in a comment to this post last fall by Charles Johnson.

Here’s one more from the International Journal of Social Economics, in 1999.

So, I think it’s time to give this some serious thought.

Comments, anyone?
