Editor,
If there is now a vitally necessary path to world government, it is this: The recent bombings in Brussels reveal a dismal lack of sharing of intelligence among easily crisscrossed Europe’s various, mutually stand-offish spy agencies and police forces, with their turf wars much in the manner of jurisdictions among fire trucks from different towns when there is a big wildfire, with one chief telling another who is offering help, “Don’t bother joining forces; we can handle it.” Europe does not even have anything like the FBI to transcend boundaries and surveil.
But now it is evident that ISIL attacks have become a global conflagration. The solution is to have a global bureau of investigation, under control and wielded by a global parliament built on the model of the European Union’s parliament, employing the best resources and human assets any country has to offer, such as our National Security Agency’s spying capabilities with their global reach.
Sincerely,
