<< </Perhaps, if this world is to survive, there can be no longer such a thing as a country’s “internal affairs” in the traditional meaning>


That is, of course, nonsense. There will always be "internal affairs" of a country where the US will not be able to poke his nose into short of an all-out invasion and installment of its own "friendlies".

</Perhaps, thugocracies and dictatorships must be made illegal>
.
Right. I would love to see you try and argue that in an international platform. <g> >>

Zonder:

We are in agreement that achieving an ‘agreement’ is not the purpose of these discussions… I am not trying to convince you to change your mind in any way… Are you? -g.

The problem is not just the nukes… It is the fact that weapons have advanced to a point when anyone who controls them has – by old standards – superhuman power. Unless we are able to develop a new framework of international relations and cooperation, this world is probably doomed.

Those traditional historical “international platforms” a la UN give us no hope. They’ll keep flapping their mouths until it will be way too late. The world has changed.

In the end, it doesn’t have to be – and it will probably not be – an American dictatorship, or an “empire”, but we’ll have to find a framework which will not allow crazies to have the potential to destroy continents.
