05/12 2007: In defense of world peace
Jerry Lee's doctrine of war is based on one sole objective: world peace or the security of Humanity as a global entity. To achieve world peace, dialog is needed as much as disarmament. Where dialog is not possible, the use of international sanctions and military force must be credible. In situations where governments or groups of terrorists represent a direct threat to national security or world peace, military intervention should be permitted for as long as a threatning situation exists. With direct threat is understood any development or intention to develop weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The threat is seen as aggravated, when those involved are illegitimate governments or rogue states. This is gw's Intelbal military-strategy. In situations where governments are indirectly threatning world peace by engaging in rethorics against other nations and committing systematic violations of human rights and freedoms as defined in the United Nations Charter, military intervention can be used to help opponents overthrow the existing power. A higher political system may replace brutal and sanguinarian regimes. Best results depend on the opponent's resolve and popularity. In all cases, the use of military force must be punctual and never be seen as an invasion of foreign territory with a lasting occupation. The driving force of change is lead by opponents of the overthrown regime. Should opponents lack leadership, political auto-determination is the rule to follow, even if it implies anarchy and civil war. Nations involved in overthrowing illegitimate governments should guarantee territorial integrity until a government emerges and declares full sovereignty over its territory. Again, this is gw's Intelbal military-strategy. The use of military force with nuclear weapons can only be accepted to prevent further nuclear attacks, and after the source of the attack was proven. This, however, could imply massive destruction of life on Earth, if not of Times. For this very reason, everything should be employed to reduce existing stocks of WMDs and prevent their development. The use of military force is not subject to United Nations aproval for as long as the current international system cannot be relied on for taking critical decisions. This is gw's policy on UNSC. |
