    The UN is all talk, and that is exactly what it should be, because talking can sometimes avoid fighting. It acts as a international opinion poll, and that is useful as well. Given that democracies that respect human rights are a minority in the world, do we really want the UN to have significant power, that could be turned to any purpose?
    "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
    -- John Stewart Mills

    But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.
