once upon a time, when the world was much larger and younger, there was a body of overseers called the united nations. it was comprised of representatives from countries all over the world. its purpose was to help make decisions in the world about important international things that were larger than one nation's scope of power and action. they'd issue guidelines and address complaints by individual countries whose sovereignty was being impinged upon by other individual nations. (i think they also had a small list of a few basic human rights that all people living on earth should enjoy like breathing and eating and not being tortured or killed.) genocide used to be frowned upon by the world community. if a country engaged in genocide, ethnic cleansing, mass murders, etc., they were called before the UN body and questioned. if it appeared that these crimes against humanity were taking place they would be asked to stop it! i believe this UN body also had joint military forces to provide enforcement of some important international laws, rules and suggestions. if we had a UN now we would take a vote on syria's use of chemical weapons and the secretary would write out a ticket to the offending country and ask them to cease and desist the offensive behavior or risk occupation and even arrest and trial by an international force of 400 million police-type dudes and some kind of international or world court with one million judges like oprah winfrey. i wish we still had an international body like that. we need international rules and referees. you saw what happened when the NFL officials went on strike. it's not pretty.
