Assignment 9 - Kenna Miller

Though it shouldn't be the primary choice of negotiation, war is sometimes inevitable. Some people get their ideas out better in the form of action (fights in HC hallways), rather than words (UN Security Council), and I understand that. I'm not a great essay writer, but I definitely can illustrate a work that passes off the same thesis.

I think many issues we have could be solved diplomatically, but the ideal can never be reached. Our goal: every nation is humble in their winnings but respectfully listens more than speaks. War is a serious issue, yet on occasion I view it as: "We have differing ideas? Whoever has the most men left must have the true answer to our dilemma!" Throwback to the Future of Life because this sounds childish.

The childish aspect of diplomatic solutions is that some who sign the piece of paper treat it only as a piece of paper: it is in no control of your life, nor does the future revolve around it. Even Kentucky's legislators have the option of adhering to the law. It's the LAW, follow it. We need to better enforce the promises made in order to perfect the diplomacy act. Unfortunately, this ideal is an ideal for a reason: greed and selfishness cannot be fully eliminated in treaties.
