Re: Crazy (3.00 / 2)

Why can't we phase out NATO and superimpose it onto the UN, the Security Council. War crimes are war crimes, countries being unfairly attacked are countries being unfairly attacked. Why are we picking favorites. It seems that if all countries would be assured that we would come to their aid if they needed it, regardless who they are, it would be a beautiful thing. Apply the same standards and criteria to everyone. More consistency. More accountability. That's what we shoudl be moving toward.

Uhh, I hesitate to call you stupid.
Just look at Darfur in Sudan.
Let me just mention that Russia or China might have a different definition of war crimes.
Not to mention that each of the five basic security council member countries have their own security needs.

Simply put, this or a new security council wouldn´t intervene unless all them agreed. Being my cynical self, I just don´t see it.
