The large nation state and even some of those smaller nation states seems to be in danger of imploding. Some for the reason that they seem to think that having draconian measures put on their people to enforce the rules of outside forces ( think Greece, Ireland and Portugal ect).
Some because of what those pesky talking heads like to call sectarian violence.
Is the world going back to prehistoric times that instead if the nation state we had a loss confederation of tribes?
The end of the rule of nations can be looked on as a call for freedom and the tribes of the world demanding that they be ruled the way they want to be ruled.
The reason that makes the United States different from most nations is the tolerance of the differences of the different tribes, even though we don't quite understand this. Though out the United States' history we've had conflict because of intolerance of some of our tribes and their demand that
their intolerance be the rule of the land, all this in the name of democracy.
*I look at the Middle East and see nations of minority rule, even when with a democratic process that happened in Egypt before the latest upheaval. The democratic elected government didn't think of the other tribes and truth be told they are a minority.
In Israel a truly minority of the populace runs the government and they don't even get a very large vote.
** Hopefully those who read this blog have a understanding as to what I've just written.
It's not the usual.
