I disagree with you big time on this. I think the only way to prevent war is to have a 3rd party that has the moral high ground and is a place to set global values. Which are hopefully Democracy, freedom of Religion, etc. When you don't have this you end up with dictatorships and nobody responsible for getting rid of them. It's like the vacant house in the neighborhood that's nobody's responsibility for - it drags down the whole neighborhood. It's only when all the homes team up that you get rid of it. That having been said, the current UN may not (and probably is not) this body. But it could be and that should be our goal. Without it, the world will continue to spiral into war. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:204991 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
