Not through violence, but through the word alone

Sleepless in Kobe.

I think I'd like to look into and read more about the International Criminal Court.




Alright. That was kind of sudden right?

Thing is, I've been watching The Devil Came on Horseback again. And I kinda understand why, why this guy that tried to do something to stop the genocide in Darfur and it didn't work. At least, not as well as he thought.

There's so much in between what happens at local level and at policy level that it's like they're two different worlds occupying half the space required for each. I'm asking myself 'why?' and yet I think I may actually know the answer. Of course knowing it is far from being able to justify anything.


Things like International Organizations - the UN and Regional Organizations, they're new. When they started out it was okay but there's just a big difference now between policy making and actual policy execution. Maybe there just always was. Which makes me feel very amazed at how 'governments' still manage to exist. Are we addicted to systemization? Or is it just that we can't live sans the current as yet. This thing with the EU, NATO etc. It's like a way we made, systemized, to help filter or ease this vertical traffic jam between the paperwork and the actual tanks.



Okay. I have no idea what I'm going on about anymore because I just read the above paragraph a dozen times and my eyes can't seem to focus. Which means! I should be able to sleep now. Hahaha.... (not that funny really.)
