U.S. Secretary of State Albright has reminded us that historians describe the 20th century as the bloodiest in history. She blames dictators. This fallacy is typical of politicians, who in their ignorance try to keep the peace by making war. Hitler, Mussolini and Milosevich were not the primary causes of the bloodshed. Without national sovereignty they and their accomplices would have been arrested for conspiracy to commit, before their crimes could be perpetrated.
NATO peace efforts failed in Yugoslavia, partly because
NATO is not an impartial peacemaker. Its bombing is illegal in international
law.
The cost to the taxpayers of NATO is many, many times
greater than the cost of supportring and building up the United Nations

We shall never achieve a world of peace and justice
without reforming the UN which NATO impedes.
In the future Canada should use its military outside
Canada only with UN approval. If more countries did that, the rule of law
might mean something.
NATO should not be the world's peacemaker.
