The Big Picture - The New World Order
This is from some globalist group called Big Think. Also wanted to mention that the NAFI Triumvirate is going on, which is a North American mock parliament.
The Big Picture: A New World Order
Never before has the United States felt so much international competition. Today, China and India, Russia and Brazil, and even smaller recently emergent markets are challenging the U.S. economically, culturally, and militarily.
International relations experts have been working hard to figure out how the U.S. can stay competitive in this New World Order, where the world is flat and practically everybody is a capitalist. The challenges are deep, but we bring the brightest minds together to find a solution.
When Enemies Become Friends
Navigating Geopolitics in the New Post-War World
Walzer2
This week Big Think presents Michael Walzer, one of America's leading political philosophers. A professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey and editor of Dissent, a left-wing quarterly of politics and culture, Walzer is an expert on unjust wars and has written 27 books and has published over 300 articles, essays, and book reviews on a variety of international topics.
Walzer says that it's true that when fundamentalists, zealots, and ultra-orthodox factions take over a country, they tend to repress the moderates and the liberals in their own camp. But we must remember, he cautions, that in those situations, the repressed, just like liberal and secular Afghans, become our allies. "Therefore it's a big mistake to try to describe it as a war of unified culture."
