Syria seems like the perfect chairmen. After all, they don't have any chemical weapons.

Don't you recall that Mr Obama assured us that his brilliant diplomacy had caused the Syrians to give up all their chemical weapons which was why he didn't need to enforce his red line. He did this with the co-operation of that other exemplar of truth and virtue, Mr Putin.

To believe otherwise would be to think that Mr Obama lied to the world...and that just can't be true.

Good to see North Korea's Kim Jong-un meeting South Korea's Moon Jae at the boarder between their two countries as a precursor to peace talks. What guns and bombs failed to achieve, possibly a handshake between two old enemies will, we can only hope.

A comment please Foxy. I know you want peace in the world as much as I do.

Dear Paul,

Of course I want peace in the world. And we're not
alone in this. For millennia people have hoped for peace
in their time.

Today, we have two vital elements for international
peace-making in place. The first is the United Nations,
which provides a forum for world opinion and a mechanism
for conflict resolution. The second is a body of
international law that specifies the rights and
obligations that nations have toward one another - particularly
with respect to aggression.

However a major difficulty with international peace-making
is that compliance with the resolutions of the UN and the
rulings of its World Court are voluntary, for no country
is willing to surrender its sovereignty to an international
body.

The UN is most effective when the superpowers are able to agree
on a course of action and mobilize their blocs to support
it. Even so, the organisation does provide an influential
forum for world opinion, and while it doesn't always prevent
war, it surely helps make it less likely.

Hopefully, something positive just may come out of the
meeting of two previous enemies. We'll have to wait and
see.

"Please do not forget the great help that my good friend,
President Xi (Jinping) of China...particularly at the
border of North Korea. Without him it would have been a much
longer, tougher, process!"

Thank You President Xi.
