Of course I also believe a dictatorship is not a soveriegn nation.

That’s interesting. I hadn’t thought of it like that before. Do you
suppose it’s possible for a dictatorship to be a sovereign nation, even
hypothetically? I don’t know for certain, but I’m reluctant to declare
outright that dictatorships are automatically non-sovereign, because that
would justify all kinds of incursions into such a nation.

Show me a benevolent dictatorship and I’ll show you a soveriegn nation. And
for the record I beleive true peace has never existed and will never exist
untill all the people of the world live in freedom.

True peace will never exist as long as some people have things that other people
want and have no way to obtain. I doubt very much that our species will ever
solve this problem. On the bright side, I expect we’ll use technology to
outgrow our species in the fairly near future.
Out of curiosity, and this is directed to anyone with an opinion. What’s so
special about the notion of sovereignty? I mean, it seems pretty clear to me
that, like citizenship, it’s just a notion that was cooked up by folks who
wanted to control other folks and duped the rest of us into respecting. What am
I missing?
