[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffon: [QB] "1) Send in an overwhelming military force with the goals of A) Securing and controlling the entire border of a country. Only allow pre-approved emergency aid through the borders to ensure outside influences do not disturb the process. B) Quickly go across the country and completely disarm the nation of all materials that could be used to create weapons of any kind. Set up strong policing bases within every population center. 2) Take over all media sources and use these to foster the ideals of tolerance and community. Monitor all religious/political/ and large gathering areas. Immediately shut down any and all resistance to these ideas and discredit the leaders who espouse other ideals. 3) Send in top intelligence and government building experts to force a democratic election process without media to create city governments around population centers. Provide coaching as to how to create a governmental system that is sustainable and uncorrupted. This means all new leaders will need a personal coach. Provide all previous leaders with military escorts to ensure their safety and compliance." You are correct in suggesting your above quoted solution is a short term fix. History is replete with examples of this failed doctrine. It does raise a question I will pose in a new thread though: Is war ever good? Your solution will not bring lasting peace because this approach has always given way to freedom fighters and terrorists. To quote a fictional story that gets to the heart of the dilema your solution causes: The ambassador of Narn on finding his world smashed into dust and subjugated for dubious reasons says, "Though it take a thousand years, We...WILL...BE...FREE! It strikes at the heart of why the policy you suggest has always failed: a people group's identity is a stronger binding force than we like to accept. Someone on here chided me saying other countries don't have patriotism, nothing could be further from the truth. Look at France and Russia (two nations with leaders whose electoral campaigns are accused of having benefitted from oil-for-food money). They appealed to national dignity to justify their decision not to cut the financial umbellical cord from Saddam. The only way to undercut that, the only way to save money and lives, if that is the order of priority you suggest, is to help indigenous peoples find out who they are and then empower them to live out that identity as they see fit within the bounds of the world community. It is demonstrated in our own nation to be successful and it has been successfully demonstrated in Western Africa. [/QB][/QUOTE]
