Can we not blame the United Nations itself for what is wrong on our planet? It has a Charter. How often does it fail to comply with that Charter because of squabbling? A good example is the current organisation that calls itself Islamic State. Shouldn't the UN be organising massive retribution and annihilation? It could take 50% of the armed forces of every latam state, ship them over and send them into action. Insufficient? Do the same in Africa. Central America. Then the same again. Imagine the peace that would reign with no armed forces in Africa, Central and Latin America. Of course, they might all be exterminated. The UN could then organise the Chinese, North Koreans and Russians for some suicidal offensives. Finally, to be on the safe side, the combined air forces of the West could run some carpet bombing campaigns. There, Africa, Central and South America and a fair part of Asia become zones of total peace. Especially after the remaining peasants are drafted in to dig graves. Incidentally, ethnicity will play a part. None of that “I'm in Canada, you can't touch me.” You're off to war. Protecting civilisation. And there'll be no more poverty. All the possessions of the dead can be shared out. And there'll be lots more room!

Wow. I see the Rwandan genocide would be dwarfed by Conqueror's project.
Sadly, the above rant comes from an individual who probably calls himself “civilized.”
Is this discourse the result of sheer ignorance?
Or does it come from a weapons merchant?
Or perhaps it's just that somebody has been playing a bit too many video games...
Briton, when you say “we invented the wheel”, you mean “we” as the one in “we killed David Kelly”... No?

You mean it's your fault for not inventing the wheel? When you say “our”, whom do you refer to exactly?
