How about we don’t start wars based off a twitter feed?

  In an ideal world, world leaders would all have restrained enough Twitter habits such that anything that inflammatory would be seen as an obvious signal that their account was compromised.

    It is not about bad habits, it's a systemic problem. World leaders are also politicians that need to maintain their internal position (even dictators need to at least prevent a coup). So when they spew inflammatory rubbish it's often to appear tough to their internal audience, often at the cost of the interest of their own country. This ideal world has to figure out how to deal with this conflict of interest.

    Where is this "ideal world" and how do I get there?
