The world has had it’s share of tyrants and dictators that brutalize their own people. The unfortunate part is that the rest of the world just looks the other way. Do the world powers have a responsibility to police the rest of the world?
First, who are the world powers today: United States, China, and Russia. Of course you have India up and coming but not there yet. So let’s look at the big three. If they wanted to, could they influence every country on this planet to do what is right by the people they govern? For the most part they could.
Look at the last vote in the United Nation to impose a no fly zone over Libya, China and Russia abstained from voting. Whey would they not vote for the no fly zone? Shouldn’t every country be concerned about a dictator killing his own people just to stay in power? If everything in the world was correct the answers would be easy but that is not the world we live in.
China and Russia could very easily be experiencing the very same protests by We The People in there own countries. It has already happened on a small scale in China. Just take a look at the history of the former Soviet Union that fell when We The People took to the streets in protest. China and Russia could be next.
Tunisian Protests
So why can’t governments govern justly? It appears that the fear of loosing power over We The People causes some regimes to resort to violence to keep control. The people only want to be governed justly and not be taken advantage of. This does not seem to be rocket science so when will world leaders wake up to the fact that the people will only take so much abuse before revolting?
Back to the big three world leaders, The United Stated, China, and Russia. Between the three countries they have some type of influence with just about every country in the world. Don’t you think that China could control North Korea if China wanted to? The big three could influence the rest of the world if they would clean up their own human rights issues.
Power does not have to corrupt, it can be used in a civilized way to the betterment of the world. When will the world powers see this?
