[Dishevelled Den]

It is time we had a world government (UN if you like). Too much money is wasted on war.

It can never work V because it's in our nature to fight, to be suspicious, to distrust, to hate, to be indolent, to be breakless, to be self-consumed, to be superficial, to be care less, to display avarice and be consumed with jealously.

To name but a few failings of the race.

Why we would want to be governed by a corrupt, inefficient and generally useless organ like the UN is anyone’s guess.

Zulu, imo if political visions and expectations of leading countries (at least) intersect UN will be different..  (I also dont believe this sentence ) its something like we build it we break it 

its something like we build it we break it 

We (as a race) are very good at that cem.

political visions and expectations of leading countries (at least) intersect

Desirable as that is cem I don't see it happening in the near to middle future.  There's another international conflict to fight yet.

the Human race as a whole has one main downfall, which if not eradicated, makes all other arguments ineffective. GREED.

There will ALWAYS be one person that wants what another has got, and will be prepared to take it away from them by superior force, be it a possession, or a country.  FACT.

Until this "fatal flaw" is gone, we will always need something to protect us with, be it a weapon, ( or the threat of using it.) or the assimilation of a superior force to take it away from them with. (WAR).

Nuclear is just the latest in a long line of more and more fatal weapons that are capable now of wiping out the human race many times. (overkill)

This posturing and backing off will continue until eventually there will be a complete war to end all wars, when very little will exist afterwards, and very few will survive. Then the cycle will start all over again..................

how do you know we haven't been here and done this several times and we're doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over


actually.....get Professor Hawking on the batphone - I think I know what happened before the Big Bang  8-)

I see Hilary Clinton is now moaning about Britain's possible military cuts. Good on Cameron for saying we will do our bit via NATO. He must have taken note of what I have been saying to him.

The special relationship flourishes!! Do as we say

Maybe the best thing would be to pretend to continue spending but just create inflatable pretend nuclear weapons for a fraction of the price. I know the Russians already do this with tanks and so on. That would keep everyone happy. The warmongers and scaredy cats would have their "security" and the rest of us would have less cuts to actually affect us.
