McCain's League of Democracies

Way back in May 2007, Senator McCain addressed the Hoover Institution on U.S. Foreign Policy at Stanford University in Stanford, California. In it the Senator outlined his League of Democracies proposal.

"This League of Democracies would not supplant the United Nations or other
international organizations. It would complement them. But it would be the one
organization where the world's democracies could come together to discuss
problems and solutions on the basis of shared principles and a common vision of
the future. If I am elected president, I will call a summit of the world's
democracies in my first year to seek the views of my democratic counterparts and
begin exploring the practical steps necessary to realize this vision."

McCain’s League of Democracies brings together the legitimate governments on the planet to solve serious problems - solutions that China and Russia usually block at the UN.

This is a bold solution that I believe will do nothing less than spread democracy around the world.

Will Dr. Condi Rice be it's first president??
