Global Peace, Security and Conflict Resolution: The Coming of Insane Future
Are the 21st century leaders different than the 20th century egoistic monsters who perpetuated the Two WW? Robert Briffault (The Making of Humanity, Cambridge University, 1920), an earlier 20th century scholar offered the following observation: "The men who have most injured and oppressed humanity, who have most deeply sinned against it, were according to their standards and their conscience, good men; what was bad in them, what wrought moral evil and cruelty, treason to truth and progress, was not at all their intentions, in their purpose, in their personal character, but in their opinions.” Global Leaders of Animosities and Indifference Despite insane killings and devastations of the Two WW, unwarranted wars continued to rage at our doorstep and our consciousness of its gravity is hardly visualized by the global leaders. The global leaders claim to be possessing greatness of mind, have failed miserably to stop the ongoing slaughter of humanity in Ukraine, Yemen, Syria, Palestine, Kashmir, Iraq and equally vulnerable indigenous population of North America. The Stolen Continent in an epoch revelation tells how the European settlers exterminated the native — indigenous people, their cultures, their rights and existence — a planned genocide of historic proportion. The emerging conflict between Russia and Ukraine involve contentious issues of geography, history and ethnic animosities. In 2014, none of the Western leaders paid any immediate attention when Russia and Ukraine (the former colonial entity of the USSR) got broiled in issues across Eastern Ukraine between pro- Russian and pro-Ukrainian masses. If America, the EU and Russia were enlightened enough, they should have engaged in dialogue to defuse the growing public discontent and division of ethnicity and geography. The Minsk agreement was misinterpreted and ignored by the parties. NATO and its participation are fast becoming contentious issues of peace and security between the Russian Federation and the West. People of knowledge and wisdom cannot make animosity as a trade to endanger the future. War is simply a disingenuous act of human mind.
