ElM, when I was about 11 or 12, involved in gang warfare in Mangere, I learned that it was quite easy to make things fun for everyone and attract members of other gangs so that war ceased and fun went on.

Those wanting wars are essentially 11 year old boys who missed out on development stages due to mismanagement of their childhood by repressive parents.

Which is not to say that there aren't bad boys, but that they can usually brought into civilization with the right treatment and bait. Many police for example are just gangsters who are behaving in a more civilized way, with bribes and constraints to keep them on the straight and narrow.

That's why disbanding the Iraqi army was a dopey idea and Mq the Amazing advised against that dopey decision. Even Saddam could have been rehabilitated and given a reasonable role in a circumscribed fashion. Perhaps keeping Sunnis in line within a NewUN federal system.

Now, Mq the Amazing has come up with a solution for Iran/USA/China/India etc.

US$ from China
Bauxite from Australia to Iran
Smelter from Columbia Ventures
Methane from Iran to the smelter
Brent Scowcroft [ex National Security Advisor and now QUALCOMM director] calls off the USA military [who are not so sure attacking Iran is a great idea]
Pipeline to India canceled [$10bn saved and vandalism prevented - Pakistan heading for civil war as an initial problem, let alone disputes between Pakistan and India].
Iran's nuclear reactor moved from Iran to India [which wants electricity - hence the pipeline from Iran]
Smelter produces aluminium
Aluminium shipped to China and Europe
Aluminium made into things and delivered to USA

It's another Win-Win-Win-Win-Win-Win-Win-Win arrangement. Everyone inside the gang instead of fighting each other.

Everyone buys CDMA/OFDM powered 450Mhz cyberphones with Google's new software installed. ElM builds more base stations and sees capital spreading.

Peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love reign supreme.
