kedaman: You are a genius! I know just how to implement your perfect system.

We print up a lot of leaflets and drop them on Isreal, Palestine, Ireland, Iraq, the Tutsis, the Hutsis, et cetera.

The leaflets will explain that peaceful methods are best. In a few weeks there will be no more trouble, and everybody can disband their military.

While we are at it, we can drop leaflets explaining to criminals how bad they are. Then we will be able to disband our police forces.

It is all so simple.

Another possibility is a world wide benovolent dictatorship that starts applying behavior modification to everybody at at birth. With the right techniques, we can have a world full of docile people. Until the next generation reaches maturity, we can use some of the techniques developed in the USSR to keep everybody under control.

As long as it is a benevolent dictatorship with high ideals, we can trust them to brainwash in the correct behavior.
