<The violence in Palestine will never end, either. So it needs to be monitored, 24/7, and dealt with. Apprehension and punishment must be swift and certain. That's why I propose a real peace-keeping force, with the ability to arrest, prosecute and punish offenders.
Continuing on the path of same-old same-old will lead to another regional war. It's time to make a change.>
CB, I was reading avidly, agreeing and wondered whether you were going to continue with a United Nations suggestion for an international legal system and means of enforcement.
People have very limited imaginations and can't imagine a United Nations which could have a very limited constitution. They are unable to imagine a world government which doesn't tell them how to brush their teeth. A constitution can be as expansive or as limited as is wanted by We the Sheeple.
They see the absurd shambles of the current undemocratic UN ruling bodies and bureaucracy and imagine any moves towards a United Nations with laws and force can only make things more bureaucratic, wasteful and unpleasant.
Some constitutional lawyers need to be hired to create a sensible United Nations which would be put to We the Cannon Fodder for ratification.
Until we change the world's constitution of jungle rules, we can expect the natural state of territorial conflict to continue, like a hospital infection. Until we do something different, people will continue to be infected and die.
Smallpox is controlled, not by ever-vigilant autoclaving and other hygiene measures, but by a new, simple and cheap approach - vaccination. Now, no autoclaving is needed to control smallpox. While a new, improved, UN wouldn't stop all death from disease, it would dramatically reduce the death rate.
While I'm in the mood for analogies, rust never sleeps either, but rather than constant vigilance and maintenance to avoid rust, designs to include aluminium or stainless steel would be an easier way than eternal anti-rust militia keeping water away. A bit of cathodic protection is another easy way of making life easier.
All that's needed is some applied brainpower [even a low horsepower brain could supply the necessary wattage and illumination].
