Bush commutes Libby sentence

[Jester]

I don't think there is a single significant country in the world willing to give up enough sovereignty to the UN to actually give it that kind of power.

Perhaps this is true, although I suspect that most countries will be convinced in time. Those likely to be holdouts are fairly predictable, and, sadly, armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons: Russia, the US, Israel, China, along with various and sundry dictatorships.

I fear that a failure to develop a useful sense of ourselves as a species, or at least as a planet, will lead very quickly to our deaths as technology progresses. A species which cannot stop killing itself with increasingly powerful explosions is not a species with a long time to live.
