Offering Solutions to Some Problem Or Other
IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT if you are going to find fault with somebody or something, then you are obligated to offer solutions, otherwise, you are nothing but a useless complainer. That attitude sounds reasonable, but is it? What's wrong with saying "I can clearly see the problem, and would offer a solution if I could, but I cannot, at the present time." Anything wrong with that position? The mere fact that we see something wrong; does that mean we should also, automatically, see a solution? Or is it perhaps even preferrable to list solutions, then construct or invent problems to precede them? Solutions are available for everyone, including the United States. In general, the problem is the same for all of us; how to live happily, prosperously, and peacefully on this planet, with seven billion of us and counting, and two hundred nations states? How to survive, in essence. What solutions could we offer the United States? ONE: accept and respect the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and the World Court. Doing so would facilitate international law, cooperation, and harmony. As of now, the Unites States only accepts the rulings of these courts if they happen to donform to American preferences. TWO: Agree to, sign, and implemet all international environmental ceal up agreements, especially the Kyote agreement which every in teh world, accept the U.S., accepts and agrees to. THREE; let the United Nations take the lead in international crises. This the United States never does, unless for some unlikely reason the U.S. administration in power sees fit.
