Quotes Progress made in international relations is usually gradual, unless it is a major war that reverses things. I don’t see the United States backing that two-state solution in the next 10 years. But it will come it is inevitable. A time is going to come when Israel’s supporters will no longer dictate the outcome of elections in the United States. The United Nations may be slow in coming to a conclusion, but it plans to make sure there are no loopholes. Trump’s 20-stage programme has left a lot of loopholes. He may end up giving multinational troops a bad name. It is inevitable but not in my lifetime. When the balance of forces changes, when the world begins to demand justice and fairness, then the two-state solution will happen One of the beauties of Democracy is freedom of expression. The liberty to communicate how you see things. Your opinion may not count but you are entitled to it! The world had a fair share of this trend, nowhere but Africa experienced the philosophy of absolute power, essentially captured by the Yoruba nation in the word “ka bi o o si” shortened to Kabiyesi, a pronouncement that when made is to remind the one on the throne of his absoluteness and a proof of submission to the same by those chanting it. This is what the world has over time evolved from. The balance of power for the purpose of control is what makes democracy the best form of Government in human civilisation. Democracy, a government of the people by the people for the people is premised upon the dynamics of choice, that gives power to the majority and control of that power to the minority through a concept called opposition. Better explained in the relationship between the wheel and the brake system. The purpose of the wheel is speed whilst the function of the brake system is to slow speed and halt it where necessary. Envisaging the failure of the fourth realm, in its wisdom, democracy fashioned the opposition. Whence the majority decision is having their way running with power, Minority opinion will have their say to put checks on power. External links
