"Ian Rankin once explained to an interviewer (the head of the Indian Communist Party!) that crime fiction is a way of talking about social inequality. Ron Jacobs applies that same maxim to the Sixties... in his wonderfully noir trilogy of those exhilarating and troubled times. And what Rankin does for Edinburgh, Jacobs amply illuminates for the Movement. Much much more than ripping yarns (though they are that too), from a master who's been there, done that, and lived to tell a tale or two."

So, I agree we need an international force. However, I believe a United Nations anti war international force that serves as a peace keeping force against any and all instruments of aggression and holds any and all aggressions responsible. We also need a world court which holds any and all aggressors for trial against humanity.
We don't need pundits who look for blame, support one against another for supporting proxies wars, supporting governments with hidden agendas or anything to support one side against another. Peace, social justice and protection of all non-combattans is and ought to be the only concern.
Thank you for writing this
Nothing new about it. "United Nations" was created with such intentions. And were we are...
