put are current issue or trail in the united nations and ask are world leader to get some of the big confusions out so we know were we stand

we don't know because they won't say and if we already have facts and proof they won't act or comply with the people who are asking to make their solution informed to sees the outcomes of their possible solution. What i saying is because democracy his a big popularity contest one group or individual will make logic over belief so we need to ask logic or beliefs because of reality wins over ideaology no matter what. why we have a the world population make its mind up because it will advance most democratic ideas and actions to a better future. I it requiers are bigger focus on big problems we have short attention spans this is a good place to start.

    Apr 17 2012: Personally, I think these politicians are at a bigger loss than we are. They are not some all knowing council which is concealing every bit of information out of protection or some evil plot, no they are politicians and this politics. They tell us enough, but such news is not interesting. Why? Because most of what they say and what they are told is mere speculation, which has no real value to anyone until some goal is put forward. And when they finally take part in a goal/project they have to side-up with the people that have supported their campaign, their rise to power. Which means they have to take every bit of power they can get and divide it among each other.

    Not to forget that sometimes its better if we don't know what is exactly going on. People will panic, their world is being ripped apart and they have to face reality. However, within in time they will all forget/ignore/suppress what the real problems are and just go back to their everyday lives, because most of the times the problems don't affect them personally.

    Any thinking person can see what the problems in the world are. If I asked you what is happening in the world and how some people are being treated you could give me an accurate account, although prejudiced, of what is happening.

    So where is the problem? The problem is when means don't suffice with the goals being put forward. What causes this? I mean we are only limited by the technology and resources we have and even then we should have enough capability for changing drastic problems within a single generation. The problem is the discussion about what the means have to be. And here it comes back to the never ending drama that is called politics, which to me seems nothing but reruns with new characters. Where the players are unaware of the course of events, where the scripts are written before hand by numerous people who had no interaction whatsoever all with the goal to be the main character is their little soap opera.
