An ideal world is something we are still striving for. It is definitely a “work in progress.” Since there is no world government to keep the peace and prevent the insanity of war, peaceful stability still requires alliances of the “good guys” to keep the “takers” under control by various threats of one kind or another. The League of Nations was a failed attempt to bring the nations of the world together for discussions on the prevention of war. But then came Hitler and Mussolini and the “Good Guys” were once again thrown into a long, bloody conflict.

It seems to me that the only solution for the long-term will be the elimination of all insanity including the ultimate insanity of war.
