The Non Aligned Movement
It's refreshing to see that not all the nations of the world are submitting to unfair and one-sided relationships with the developed nations. The U.S. in particular has long used it's military and economic might to extract what resources and advantages it can in defense of it's "national interests" at the cost of any real advantage to the under-developed nation. Now the western nations expect those same countries to comply with environmental standards that they themselves got rich ignoring. This alliance of non-aligned nations seems to me to be the logical evolution of global democracy in response to the virtual untouchability of the U.S.
