For myself, it's a scathing indictment on humanity that we haven't evolved beyond power politics and reached a point where international law is more than just a cheap pretense, and it is for this reason that another world war is all but a certainty.
Hope you aren't planning on having any children, Luap, because as ugly as things presently are, it's nothing compared to what is in store for us in the very near future.

With great power come great responsibility and great error and its must be so.
Humans are what they are, we can no more change geo-politics and how it is practiced than change ourselves, if we could, I don’t think we would either, not enough for a majority that is.
There’s tops and bottoms in this world. One earns a seat at the tribal fire and piece of the meat by chewing the leather and contributing to the collective.
We want our leadership to contribute to the tribe by making out lives easier and fulfilling the obligation of putting meat on the table. In short, nothing has changed. The mechanisms are just different. And the needs of the many ultimately outweigh the needs of the few or the one.
10 years 50 years a millennium, children grandchildren great great great great grand children, this will not change, just the way we go about it.
Interestingly enough many of the Asian/ oriental peoples know this, in Wazirastan(sp) an old saying goes; “ I took my revenge early, I only waited 100 years”.
Oriental calendars are cyclical as opposed to linear; you don’t run out time you see.
