My standards aren't very high, and are applied equally to all nations.
I don't believe in colonialism, that's all.
I don't believe in one nation ruling another nation by force. ("nation", defined by race, religion, culture)
That applies to 5 million Jews in Israel ruling 5 million non-Jews.
It applies, equally, to the U.S. ruling Iraq,
and China in Tibet,
and India in Kashmir,
and France in all its African sort-of-ex-colonies,
and Spain in Basque or Catalonia (if they vote to separate),
and Sudan in their southern Christian provinces,
and every government where one tribe out of many monopolizes all power.....the list is long.
Every one of these situations is a place of current or barely-suppressed conflict. And, with the unstoppable spread of nuclear weapons, every one of these conflicts is a potential holocaust. The only solution, is to establish and enforce the principal that no nation has the right to rule by force over any other nation. Full stop. No excuses. |
