The End Of the Era of Empire

 The ever present and looming threat of humanity’s obliteration in thermonuclear world war has only one possible virtuous outcome. It is the mutually beneficial solution that extirpates the mental disease afflicting humanity from time immemorial. That of empire. 

The only form of domination that makes any sense at all is one of constructing timely solutions of the problems facing the necessary prosperity of physical and mental well being of human posterity. The elements of such are either at hand or within our grasp in the near term. It is in the nature of true statecraft to foster these at this epoch. We have only the horror of starkly fatal and frankly quite hideous and  suicidally unthinkable future in our failure to do so.
