Reply #6: "Handling" a dictator [View All]

[Goldmund]

is a job of the world community, or in other words, the UN -- not a superpower with Messiah complex (although the complex is not in the minds of the leaders, only an excuse they use to justify their greed and neo-colonialism to their subjects).

Before you tell me that UN is ineffective, think about who is to blame for that. Does this superpower do anything to make it more effective? No. We've withdrawn from arms control treaties, environmental treaties, we make behind-the-curtain deals on immunity from international authority, and we abide by UN resolutions only when it serves our immediate interests.
