Hmmm ... while poking around the M&Ms site I came across a map of how the world voted in the latest "pick the new color" contest ... and I'll be damned if it doesn't mirror current UN entrenchment. Get a load of this:
Selecting Purple
United States
Australia
UK
Czech Republic
Hungary
Romania
IsraelSelecting Teal
France
Canada
Russia
Iraq
Iran
North KoreaSelecting Pink
Lybia
Syria
Saudi Arabia
Think I'm joking? See for yourself. Now, any thoughts regarding what this tells us about the dynamics of international diplomacy? Could we be on the precipice of the "M&M Doctrine?" You know ... No nation selecting purple has ever waged war against another nation selecting purple?
