The senseless Killings in Iraq and now in Palestine leave me baffled about the state of morality or civilisation in our world today. There were shocking scenes in the news yesterday of open shooting in the midst of old people demonstrating against the violence. It may me think if the world is becoming a better place, as politicians and historians will make us believe, or if we are going in a full circle again back to ages of savagery and man-eat-man.The civilisation and human rights concept that are trumpeted by world organisations such as the United Nations appear not to be visible in Darfur, Iraq and Palestine.But why all these states of murder and mayhem? Of course we will more than willingly lay the blame on the great super power; Our United States of America. But does this not beg the question?May it just not be that it is America’s fault only because it is the super power around and delights in interfering in matters, otherwise, not their business?I find it particularly appalling to blame a super power for infightings between Hamas and Fatah; old sworn enemies, or Sunnis and Shias, or Sudan’s classic Darfur conflict.It makes nonsense of tackling problems at their root cause when UN envoys make blanket statements such as its America’s fault. Who cares about America? Any people not divided against themselves; willing to stand for each other can overcome America any day.Super powers only win in territories where there is great division already. You can’t stop a superpower from exerting its power because, for example, America derives immense economic benefits from its war since the 1st World War.Commentators and our men in coats from the UN and other charitable organisations need to stop the rhetoric, forget America and Britain and lay the buck where it belongs. That is in the hands of corrupt and very evil minded leaders of nations, who don’t care a hoot for the people they pretend to govern. This includes the Mugabes, the Talibans, Hamas, Fatah and the rebel groups scattered all over Africa.In fact the next time I hear there a protest against America at a conference, I will try and organise a special protest for all these faceless crooks we call leaders!

Perhaps what is needed is a drastic overhaul of the United Nations such that it's based on democracy rather than the whim of dictatorships and economic interestes. How about this?

Certainly what we have not is NOT working.
