Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. (John 15:13)
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
He was sent to prison on a charge of sedition. He was promoting the idea of conscientious objection to a war he saw as unjustifable.
It would appear in that view he was right.
The first British troops deployed were sent to the Middle East - The first Oil war?
In the Second War he saw that as justifiable.
Loyalty to Mother England was something he was very strong on.
Atheism and Religion are but two sides of the same coin.
One prefers to use its head, while the other relies on tales.
The Anglo American World power is the biggest Terrorist organisation on earth.
Rather than as you say Nations are trying to avoid conflict these guys have been hell bent on promoting it for decades.
The rest of the world have tried to reign them in but as we saw with George Bush 2's Iraq adventure the rest of the worlds words fell on deaf ears.
With Iran and North Korea they have their propaganda machines cranked up.
Who doesn't get bombarded with anti-muslim emails.
The Christians and the Zionists are certainly streets ahead the Muslims in the terrorism stakes.

Would you prefer to be under Soviet, Nazi, Japanese or Chinese rule then? How about radica Moslem rule?
Yes, the US tends to throw its weight around some, but why hasn't there been a WW3? Saddam was becoming the kind of Sadist, with his sons, that could not be ignored anymore. The US reasoned he had to be taken down. Conspiracy theorists will always only believe one story. While the stability of oil was certainly a factor it wasn't the only one, nor, I believe, the primary one.
No matter what any government does there will be people who hate it and oppose it and claim conspiracy in everything. Even you should recognise the rise of anarchy and disunity within national boundaries.
Even in the relatively stable, prosperous paradise that is NZ, for some people, nothing the government,( regardless who is in power), does, is good.

Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
Why must i be under any rule? Of those, id pick islam. In spite of the propaganda, its a fair and generous belief.
There is ww3. Its on right now. The weapons are tv, exchange rates and consumerism. (with a dose of dictatormocracy for the 'free' nations)
the us put saddam in power when they took over russias fight there.
The primary reason war WMDs, and the 'people who hate freedom', remember?
Nz is just as fucked as every other white capitalist establishment, but too passive for carbombing tptb.
People cannot live together in total anarchy. People wouldn't either, throughout history ther has always been a form of governance even in "primitive" tribal societies.
Saddam was a US "appointment" but outlived his usefulness and as I said became too despotic for them to continue with him.

Too many cooks in the kitchen
Evolving to a single ruling global empire, rather than sovereign nations, bring on the UN
Feudal warlords have had their day, women in power, especially mothers, will make it sway.
Populations will become too big very soon. As more pressure gets put on resources, more war could eventuate if controls are not put in place at a global level
Currently, countries promote population growth, as these become workers and tax payers and soldiers to defend, power in numbers.
A universal governance must be put in place so cooperation rather than competition becomes the order of the day
eg Voluntary sterilisation with financial incentives, remove power from religion via UN chipping away at secular religious hate groups.
Remove religion and gonads
Churches are monuments to self importance
intresting theory.
depends on yr definition of anarchy. And governance.
In tribes, ya got rites, roles etc. you generally have a vertical power structure. Ie, start at the bottom and earn your way up.
Unlike democracy, where the only qualification is how many people you can get to believe your bullshit. And youve got an army of thugs to beat down dissent.
If only you knew how close to the mark your post is...
Democracy cannot work because you cannot get everyone to agree. You must have an authority with the power to make things happen. Dictatorship, which covers tribal as well, doesn't work because power corrupts and despite good intentions at the start, it goes astray to the detriment of freedom and health.
All forms of rulership, to be successful, must depend upon benevolence, wisdom and power, and so far, mankind has failed miserably to get that balance right.

True but I'm talking in practise. Note 3 indicates the issues with modern democracy. It is an adversarial system with the opposition parties opposing everything on principle whether they agree with it or not. You only need look at NZ for the way it works in reality with so many vehemently sticking to their own agendas and views whether for the common good or not.
To get anything through the parlimentary system requires a majority and force of will against a closely opposing group of opposed parties. Dirty tactics are just another part of this type of system.
Saying that, democracy has been the best of a bad bunch to date, but it is rapidly crumbling.
Society is becoming ever more fractured in the democratic nations with the authorities struggling to maintain civil order. NZ and Aus are so insulated from the rest of the world, thankfully for us, that we don't realise the seriousness of the problem world wide.

How close is it?
The movie Black Robe was about a Jesuit priest who tamed a tribe of Canadian Indians. Then the neighbouring tribe came and wasted them, because they had become pacifists....
Democracy
Demons mocking like crazy
Money buys lobbyists and PR machines
Eventually a rolling snowball will grow so large it will crack and crumble under its own weight
Such is the [eventual] fate of all empires throughout history
