Former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg once said that the Constitution of the United States is not a suicide pact. The opinion of this book is that neither is the Constitution of the United Nations that is International Law. Violent fundamentalist societies - i.e., Thermidorian societies - come into conflict with their own people as well as with International Law, which is the last line of defense of civilized international society. The question is, in a violent world, who will deal with the violent? In this book, we work out the nature of Thermidorian society so that civilized international society - meaning those that do not want to kill their neighbors - will understand what they have to deal with into the 21st century when they confront this phenomenon once more, as they have throughout the 20th century, a century of totalitarianism and terror.
