Generals - US institutions are just, and they should be just given sufficient strength to accomplish what is needed; 2. Secretaries of State and Defense - political need to control terrorist threat today 3. Vice President – broaden social choice by including public opinion and study possible alternatives; 4. Public – disturbed by a number of American military intervention failures, for American lives, respect and peace in general; 5. Academic – relatively passive, but generally critical of US policy, considering that it doesn't use already existing knowledge, with consequence of wrong policy, breaking of human rights, losing lives and endangering peace; 6. European – consensually critical, but just trying to take as low position as possible; 7. Globally relevant (G 20) – ignored by US 8. United Nations – treated as irrelevant by US This is a late enlightenment policy, of West knows and does the best, which lead to colonialism, American slavery, totalitarianism, Holocaust, world wars and now leads to „clashes of civilizations“ Stop it and be a leader of the first among equals, inspire new world vision of peace and cooperation among civilizations, fulfillment of human duties as a basis for human rights, tolerance and public dialog, sustainable wellbeing ... Strengthen United Nations, and make yourself a leader by serving. Wash the feet of the world, follow the message and deeds of Christ.
