HOW A WORLD PEACE
FORCE
WOULD HANDLE
SITUATIONS LIKE IRAQ
BETTER THAN THE UNITED
STATES AS POLICEMAN
SYNOPSIS:
Now---in March 2003---we are at war.
This war is being committed by one nation
that sees itself as policeman of the world.
Will that nation attempt similar actions in other countries?
If there were a functioning World Court and World
Peace Force,
then the problem of countries possibly possessing illegal weapons of
mass death
would be settled by a rational examination of objective, verifiable
facts
rather than by suspicions, denials, claims, & counter-claims.
The most ideal methods for getting rid of weapons of
mass death
are not yet in operation.
But we can avoid warfare committed by one nation on another
by making use of the limited methods that we do have.
Slow, methodical disarmament of nations like Iraq
by means of day-by-day inspections
is better than massive bombing and military occupation.
We can achieve the same end---disarmament---
without killing thousands of human persons.
OUTLINE:
I. A WORLD PEACE FORCE WOULD BE NEUTRAL AND NON-PARTISAN.
II. A WORLD PEACE FORCE WOULD BE DIRECTED
BY A NEUTRAL COURT OF WORLD LAW.
III. CITIZENS OF ALL COUNTRIES WOULD SUPPORT
THE WORLD COURT AND THE WORLD PEACE FORCE.
IV. SINCE WE HAVE NO FUNCTIONING WORLD COURT
OR WORLD PEACE FORCE,
WHAT IS OUR BEST APPROXIMATION FOR NOW?

HOLY WAR AGAINST TERRORISM
OUTLINE & SYNOPSIS:
1. HISTORICAL
BACKGROUND FOR 21st CENTURY 'MUSLIM' TERRORISM
'Arab' terrorist groups almost always point to the
problem of Palestine
as their main reason for attacking Israel and its supporters in the
West.
A fair settlement of this unresolved dispute
would dramatically undercut this 'reason' for terrorism.
2. LONG-TERM SOLUTION:
WHEN THERE ARE NO MORE VICTIMS
Can
we prevent the enculturation of new generations
of terrorists,
who will grow up to commit acts of terror against their perceived
enemies?
3. THEOLOGICAL WARFARE:
TERRORISTS GO DIRECTLY TO HELL
The
members of murder-suicide cults need to be convinced
that they do not go immediately to paradise
when they kill themselves in the war against "the enemies of God".
4. PRACTICAL STEPS IN
THE HOLY WAR AGAINST TERRORISM
We
must identity individual members of murder-suicide
cults
and prevent them from committing further criminal acts.
