How should federalists react to terrorist attacks?
The treaty system assumes that a nation has the right to utilize militarism for protecting its national interests. The Pentagon has made many blunders for much longer than the building of the Pentagon. Excessive reliance upon waging war in the manner in which the last war was waged is merely a part of the problem. Vegetarians should be isolated from the problems of carving the turkey. Similarly, world federalists should be isolated from dealing with foreign policy.
Although the treaty system must be used to abolish the treatysystem, it is an extremely complex problem. It is far more difficult and hazardous than the forest firefighters who successfully use fire to fight fire. Toddlers cannot be entrusted with using fire to fight fire. For more than a hundred years, world federalists have been acting like toddlers in fighting fire with fire instead of acknowledging the abundance of hurdles and credibility chasms which delay the drastic transformation to a dominant Supra-National Federation. At Home Rule Globally and its operating divisions [including Planetary Emancipation of Neighborhoods, aka PEONS, or Contest Appraising Voluntary Emancipating World Government, aka CAVEWG] no modification of strategy is appropriate. The hurdles to a dominant Supra-National Federation are essentially the same without regard to the health of international affairs. Militarism inherently involves an abundance of secrecy. John Ewbank generally boycotts mass media. He learned about the terrorist attacks by phone call, and has sought no further data.
Previously his study of what was happening in the Pentagons efforts to induce the Palestinians and Israelis to engage in further negotiations prompted a reaction of "it is to be expected" to the bombing news. Because Secretary of Treasurer ONeill and other talented and innovative pragmatists are involved in some of the contemporary negotiations [necessarily secret] humanity has hope that ecocide can be postponed for at least a few weeks. Ewbank concedes that evidence based purely upon present trends, without reversals of trends, ecocide before 2300 seems probable. Prayers for inventiveness, love, compassion, problem-solving, etc. for all participants in the ongoing negotiations are helpful. The treaty system tends to require results comparable to 1915 efforts to end WWI, when important leaders in both England and Germany desired an immediate armistice. Hostilities were prolonged primarily because a few arrogant personalities on both sides were excessively concerned about relative prestige, the ALL-IMPORTANT value within the treaty system. World federalists need to take most of the blame for the present situation. We did not do what needs to be done.
