    North Atlantic kinda keeps Israel out by definition, don't you think?

    For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

      As much as it keeps out Greece or Turkey.

        I'd be for kicking out Greece. What do they contribute to the alliance anyway? Turkey only got in based on Cold War fears of the Soviets. What hat does Israel hang its hat on?

          Obviously, this is a pipe dream for a variety of reasons, but the basic ethical premise isn't offbase.

          It certainly isn't unreasonable to extend NATO membership to Japan or Australia; the political realities with make India and Israel prohibitive, however.

              Well, it's kind of silly to extend NATO to Japan or Oz, but the general idea of a global NATO-style alliance of suitable democracies is not a bad one at all.

                  You've also got the problem that NATO's charter limits it to responding to attacks in the US or Europe.

                    I guess we could call it the World Treaty Organization, but we already have a WTO .

                          Somehow the US managed to be part of the South East Asian Treaty Organization.

                              I see Canada's stealth nation technology is still banging on all cylinders.

                                @ LotM: Are Japan and Oz Major Powers in the North Atlantic as the US is in South East Asia?
