The only way for Individuals to influence International Politics, is to influence National Politics.

Obviously, Individuals at the Bottom of government, cannot influence International politics. Equally obvious, is the fact that the International situation is being 'motored' by 'pure power'. But, the Individual does have an influence on the National sphere, and hence, must relate to the International by 'means' of the National. Since, most Individuals who wish to influence the International, do not act in a Representative way, their only recourse, is to influence the National sphere to the extent that they demonstrates their displeasure of the International situation. Of course, that means 'Demonstrations' or 'Revolution'. There are no Other ways. The International functions with "Pure Power", and the National functions with "Representational Power". However, the loss of 'human life' in the National sphere, is grounds for intervention, in the only manner possible, on the International sphere, viz., people must act against the conduct of their Representatives on the International sphere. Of course, this 'apparent rule' of conduct in Politics, does not apply to purported 'acts of terrorism'. Terrorism is not a 'Political entity' and its not a 'National' entity; its an act by 'human beings' against 'human beings'. There are no 'boundaries' to 'terrorism'. But, the International sphere, which functions with pure power, must learn to get along with other Nations, or possibly face, 'Demonstrations or Revolutions', at 'home'. Many 'demonstrations' and some 'Revolutions' are justifiable.
