- chappi42 11y agoThis hasn't been tried yet afaik. Sure, I don't know how UN stewardship could be possible atm. But in a smaller better connected world, I think, we increasingly need a way to police failed/bad-behaving/suffering states. (Or better said, to help the people living in such states). The millions of refugees, spread of lunatic but well funded fundamentalism and the scope of terrorizing local neighborhoods hasn't been happened in the (recent) past. What else do you propose?
- mtanski 11y ago> What else do you propose? I don't agree to the We Must Do Something, This Is Something sentiment. Clearly we have to get our arms around the situation. We UN should actually coordinate a plan to figure what we can do. Rushing to put soldiers on the ground always ends up complicating the situation further and it's a choice you cannot take back (seeing how we're still stuck in many places) years after.
