Letter to WhiteHouse.gov
John Adams put into the Massachusetts' Constitution of 1780 "a government of laws and not of men".
In 1945 the United States was a promoter and signatory of the United Nations Charter, which includes "to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace". That is, a world of laws and not of men.
Too many times during my lifetime, almost every U.S. President from Harry Truman to George W. Bush have taken unilateral action against another government who they claimed was a threat to the peace. Now a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize has been beating the war drums to take unilateral military action against another member of the United Nations.
What happened to "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
