-- It is better to enforce the law unanimously than to sweep in and make changes, ala The Authority comic book, with a divided world watching and unwilling to support those actions politically or monetarily.
-- Proxy nations used by superpowers to wage war against one another.
-- Opposing political parties arguing with one another in an infantile manner, while legitimate societal problems within government's influence remain unsolved.
