Following this headline in the news I thought I would mouth off at a country’s government again following my last post. Why verbally bash one country when you can bash two?
Here’s how the conversation goes:
USA
Hey you, country X, you need democracy!
Country X
Oh OK,
how many back handers will I get out of this?you clearly have our interests at heart.Well of course! We believe in democracy for all! We’re going to
invade you and milk you and your people for all we canhelp you!
A few billion/trillion dollars later….
[conversation taking place at UNESCO meeting]
Chairperson
In regards to the motion of allowing the State of Palestine to become a member of UNESCO: 173 countries are present, we have 107 countries in favour and only 14 against the motion as 52 have abstained.
USA
What?! That’s ridiculous! Don’t you understand that USA invented democracy so we can veto this decision?
I’m sorry, you cannot do that.
Well, surely because we are the USA our vote counts for more than 1, shall we say it counts for 94?
After all, we make all the other rules to suit us.Sorry, the motion stands. Palestine join UNESCO.
Objection! We believe so strongly in democracy that we openly reject this vote. We will therefore be withdrawing all monies that we pay UNESCO as we feel this democratic vote of 173 countries does not suit us.
Need I say more?
