Do you really think countries like Iran, Iraq, and their allies would abide by some form of international law? I doubt it. My God they cut peoples heads off for the entire world to see. Free countries have to be able to defend themselves. If they are attacked they must have the right to defend and retaliate. Your concept makes sense but I don't think this would happen, at least for some time.

Without war there would be no need for repuglicans. Oh wait a minute I have no use for them and we are at war.

Because the ‘international community’ as you choose to name it is basically the Western Nations who benefit from taking over other people’s countries and gaining from it. Look at the USA and Britain and Israel. They seem to gain from violence, subjugation and theft. I laugh when I visit the UK’s British Museum and notice that it is populated with the treasures of the world the British ‘conquered’. History has a deep memory and I know I won’t be around when it all turns around. But it certainly will.

Though a noble idea, I think the problem is twofold. One, crazy dictators and terrorists don't care about international law. So you would still have those people committing "war actions", forcing other countries to respond. So war would still occur. The international law would only come into play after the war, when you would have war crimes trials, just like in Nuremberg after World War II. So, I think, your idea becomes an after-the-fact system of punishment rather than a deterrent to war.

You are so right!

These crazy people make no sense whatsoever.

They have all this money and power and all they are good at is killing people and making lives miserable.

I just don’t understand how political brains work anymore.

It’s like if their wind shield is broken they burn the house to fix it.

The US ever since the end of WWII has been the World's peace keepers. The UN has always asked more of the US than any other nation and most of NATO and other countries around the world has reduced their militaries to all us to be their protectors. Korea is a good example of what can happen when idiots do not fight a war to win. That is the biggest trouble with the UN, they want to start conflicts but they do not have the guts to finish them. Now, the UN is being ran by more rogue nations than at any other time in history.
