I am afraid that the UN Security Council should control UN forces. This is inadequate, and leaves gaps, but at the same time it makes sense that the US, China, and Russia have to agree before anyone get's destroyed. What UK and France are doing there I couldn't tell you, but I don't think they want to quit. This will leave lots of conflicts on which the SC can't agree (like Chechnya-Russia) but is probably the best we can get until China, Russia, and the US all break into little pieces.
As for my first sentence:
Of course, nothing but war has ended temporarily world conflict.
"Of course" -- is merely padding, breaks the jarring dissonance between " " and "nothing." Far too vain for someone named "nihil" to start off writing with his name, like "I."
"nothing but war" simply implies that war is the only thing that ends world conflict even temporarily. Thinking over all of human history, or all of it that I know, I think conflict -- even political conflict -- often, usually leads to war. Perhaps "only a few things other than war end conflict even temporarily" would be better, but I like that word "nothing." So I'll stick with it, even though it may not be the mot juste.
Onm third thought, I'll withdraw the sentence so as not to concern you. The thought is not that important. |
