< land theft within living memory is another matter. That is the problem for Israel.> True. It's a question of how long is a piece of string and who stole what from whom? <// The purpose of a NUN would be purely to handle commons issues such as radio spectrum, air quality, ocean, rivers, space [geostationary orbits, incoming bolides], borders and threats across borders.// Sounds fine to me, but the rightwing of the USA will never appreciate your point of view. Since they are the ascendent political power here, don't expect any miracles.> Those would be the same right wing-nuts who supported Osama and Islamic Jihad against Gorby in another stroke of genius, resulting in the removal of the Twin Towers and a lot more besides. There are few megalomaniacs who see the wisdom of using their power at its zenith to create favourable circumstances which will last for a long time to wide mutual advantage. When ascendant, they see no need to devolve their power. On the slide, they fear doing so and lose the ability to control circumstances. The British Empire is a pathetic shadow of its illustrious past, with Britain not in a position to take the lead in much, and without much inclination to do so either. Mqurice
