When a nation comes to adulthood, to maturity, it relates to other nations in a completely
different way than hitherto. It begins to respect the Rule of Law, which binds all nations
together in mutual responsibility and need. The sign of a growing maturity is precisely this
respect for the laws which men have found necessary to living together in peace. From time to
time, a nation may feel powerful enough to ignore the law which irks its ambition to dominate,
and to make war despite the warnings of restraint from its friends. Thus it is today that the
United States, now, alone, a ‘superpower’, vexes and worries the people of more mature nations
who have grown to see the folly of unilateral action outside the Rule of Law. The young and
over-confident ‘superpower’, flexing its muscles, will overreach itself, and the sooner this
happens the safer for the world. Already a steadily growing chaos exacts due cost in loss of
life, both American and Iraqi. The seal of Pandora’s Box has been broken and from it has
stepped a monster, out of control. To be sure, the US administration wear as brave a face as
they can muster, but behind the scenes, they are worried indeed, and seek desperately a less
than ignominious method of withdrawal. Meanwhile, the defeated Iraqi army fights a guerrilla
war with some success, while religious groups, seizing their opportunity, increase the tension
with calls for civil war. Thus, the paramount adventure of the American President, designed to
demonstrate the invincibility of the United States, has little to show for its efforts and
very much still to lose.
Folly
When, at last, the US Government sees for itself the folly of this reckless and unnecessary
war, it will not, of course, admit this to the world. Rather, it will seek to gain the support
of the United Nations to extricate itself from this embarrassing blunder, and, if possible, to
lay the blame elsewhere.
Suffers
When, among nations, the Rule of Law is ignored, the whole world suffers. Thus, today, the
tension which has accompanied this futile demonstration of military strength affects millions,
innocent of all terrorist action or mayhem. The world is struggling now with epidemics of all
kinds as the human immune system breaks down under the stress. Did the warmongers but realize
the karmic effects of their ill-considered actions, they might well make amends and take
sightings for another course. Maitreya, meanwhile, watches carefully this inharmonious
situation, ready to intervene if necessary, ready to emerge when possible. Remember that
Maitreya is in no doubt about the ultimate triumph of those who stand behind Him, who value
peace and justice, freedom and love. He knows that these are the mainsprings of human
existence and comes to see them enthroned in all.
