A or B ?

A. Do what needs to be done or I'll hit you in the face with a brick , burn your house down, and kill your family.

B. Do what needs to be done, and I'll help you do it and help you financially, while we do this chore together.

Diplomacy made simple..


Most diplomatic issues can be solved by tackling the real problems of the people we have differences with.

Poverty, joblessness, corruption in government, unfair elections, and other day-to-day problems are what lead to the unrest that topples governments and creates the instability that we seem inexorably drawn into.

If we tried to apply some influence from the bottom, up..instead of pouring money on the heads of the corrupt leaders, we would probably never have any need for military intervention.

It would also be a good idea to stop selling weapons to both sides, and to try to get treaties from other weapons producers to do the same..

If all weapons were truly defensive and made locally, perhaps we would all be less warlike, and before long, hopefully we would all have "enough".

The war-machine in germany was successfully dismantled and turned into making peaceful products..and they seem to be out-producing us.. It is possible..

We just need to DO it. and we need to encourage others to do it too.

3. C. We are still learning how to solve our own problems,

and to take the responsibility for our own mistakes, we aren´t in the position to tell you what needs to be done. We would be glad for any assistance we will receive.

5. Republicans live by the motto "It is better to be Feared than Loved"

Democrats live by the opposite..Right now America is most definitely Feared by the World and it certainly is not loved. I believe Democrats would like very much to change that and I actually feel most americans would also.
