I like my "Port Authority" idea. Fast, friendly clearance of vessels going through the inspection. A merciless hail of 57 mm shells for those who fail to comply.

In keeping with the subject of this thread, I stand behind my idea that the Christian response could involve violence and killing as we seek to address the situation that allowed this to happen in the first place.
You want to use the UN, I'd rather not.
However we both want something done.
Being Christian does not prohibit us from
