North Korea 'n' That...
Why the West is shooting itself in the throat
It seems we have laid before us rather an insightful illustration of basic human interaction.
The scanrio is simple... the literal allegory is this: One person thinks they're responsible with the posession of something with great destructive gravity and so find reasons to justify their posession of it (like a gun or a car or even a faith); and another less mature individual is threatened and jelous of that which they lack in the face of his neighbour. Maybe the latter plays around a little with the concept of its new found ego-building toy and maybe they feel happy and giddy on the power it invokes (perhaps like Brixton chavs stealing themselves a car or buying a gun on the blackmarket).
With the real situation on the great political comedy or errors that is the UNGA, the danger arises only because the the very enmity between the two states is a direct result of the US (or perhaps a less specific but more inclusive term should be `the West`) is deeming itself responsible and stable enough for posession of such decisivly horrific `deterrents` and justifies its ownership with the conceit they're mere `defensive measures`. This, of course, is an open invitation for a `less mature` state to follow in its stead and so, the the armis is a result of the enmity it has caused itself. That is to say, the West saying it's truested with Nukes is the reason there are other nukes out there.
That is however, not naive enough to forget that these less responsible states would inervertibly adopt the methods of nuclear agression by other means; with other conceits and by different means even if the West had not paved the way for them.
So what is to be done about North Korea?
As frequent readers of my blog will know, I'm bold and arrogant enough to argue black is white, but I'd say proposing a solution to a matter of which one has limited experience is arrogance of the most severity. (Well... that and judging others by lesser morals than your own, but that's a different blog altogether!). So that's a handy get out clause to excuse me from having to justify my cynacism with pragmatics.
However, today I propose a right good way to deal with the N.Korean missile crisis! That's right, Donald Rumsfelt, Margaret Beckett, UNGA, eat your heart out because the awesome might that is the obscure eighteen year old blogger does your talent great injustice...
My advice to all involved is this:
Read `1984`; choose a church that doens't look down on your for not jumping; remember Christianity is liberal not conservative; don't support for the lapdog of the elctorate that is David Cameroon; don't let the media sway your opinions about Bush and especially not about Blair; remember behind every humanitarian there's a capitolist; and above all -
I'm finding this quote quite insightful from Thomas' More's `Utopia` (more thoughts on Utopia perhaps to come soon:) ``... we made no enquiries after monsters than which nothing is more common; for everywhere one may hear of ravenous dogs and wolves, and cruel man-eaters; but it is not so easy to find states that are well and wisely goverened.``
