No, I understand that Georgia and Ukraine are sovereign States of
their own and also, to be major road blocks to Russia's desire to be
an empire of its own. That is why my original question reaches out to
Russia, so that we get on to tackle the problem from the heart of the
matter.
As you say, there is the contradictions of the past that are lingering
on. But here, we are in cyber space, where ideas can travel at the
speed of thoughts. This has never been available before.
So if people get to be inspired and decide to move for change, then we
can take the lingering past and put it through the changes needed,
from where things are at and into the functional present needed.
NATO inviting Russia and China to join did not make sense 5 minutes
ago; but what keeps that from changing? We have the tools to ignite
such changes. Why aren't we using them?
Armies are made of rules in structures of command and control. If
they join under the same banner, then they can become like global
police forces that prevent war from errupting.
The key is to find the genuine forces of conversion, renewal and
transformation in the deployment of high trust from personal to
communal and from local to global.
Isn't that what transparent communication is made to lead to?
If not, then the www does not have much of a window to get on with a
globalization that needs to be freed from the past that no one needs
to see repeated.
When you say that Knowledge Person might be more attractive than NATO,
I agree. How do we capture and lead on the agenda? Here's a thought
about that.
As I previously indicated, this conversation has carried on with a
colleague from India and of course, it has taken a life of its own.
In part of my reply of today I wrote:
"Regarding Tibet, I think that the strategy for peace lies with the
Dali Lama, with the help of his supporters from the "free world", and
our demonstrating how to gain the victory over strees and the high
tensions of the human compulsive nature and how to retire in
serenity.
Again, the Olympics in China are such a wonderful opportunity to stage
a genuine activation of the universal political will to live with our
roots in justice and how to progress in peace, away from competition.
In my mind, (and please understand that I am day dreaming here)
I see the power of communication thechnology focusing on a meeting
between the Frenchman in exile in his own country, completely immersed
in English, and the wise Tibetan in exile, who seeks out the liberty
of home.
Together they march from their meeting to make of the planet, a resort
for humanity's retirement into the confinement of sanctity and
dignity...
Their point of meeting is in their offer to China, for the historical
mapping to the live movement from closed to open, starting from the
unique stand that She took, when She was the only one to refuse to
attend the funeral of the last Pope.
She did not show up, supposedly because of the disagreement over
Taiwan, but when we consider that China has its own State Catholic
Church, then the view deepens dramatically.
So the picture of the Frenchman in exile in his own country of Roman
Catholic ancestry and the wise Tibetan in exile can suddenly capture
all of Hollywood, Bombaywwod, Hong Kongwood and so on...into a live
movement of masses from out of the grip of the entity of terror-anti-
terror and into the possible delight of mutual pleasure that life is
made to be all about."
That conversation is at:

Globalization and the universal law and order cannot avoid each
other. Why not free ourselves from the past and move on toward the
ground where we can all drop our weapons and learn to live well
instead of dying stupidly?
Knowledge Person can certainly grow to stand for such standard
movement to heal humanity from the past! NATO will just have to come
on board with the rest. After all, wherever "The Real Lead" is, there
we must follow.
