I don’t argue with the philosophy. I argue with the practicality.
Both you and I know that tomorrow morning this could all be over. We send one jet into Iran, one into Venezuela and one into Syria. Three bombs and it is done.
As much as we like to believe it and as much as we say, “we don’t give a rats behind about the UN” they are still there and will be there as long as we have elitists in congress.
There’s a lot of truth to what you say but humans have always needed some sort of hope to guide their lives. While I know much of what I hope for is impractical and even possibly counter-productive, I still hope for a quick, simple solution to all this terrorism/counter-terrorism we’re involved in.
I suppose while I’m indulging myself in pointless hope I might as well hope the UN building would slide off into the river - while in general session. Again, that’s not likely to happen, but I can hope can’t I?
