The ideas and them, etc.
The idea behind any organization is what determines its existence and relevance. The context may change and a newer background may appear - in a slow coalescing of events, etc. It is always useful to note that just like the idea behind any organization usually stays alive, the ideas behind other organizations always stay alive too - with differing degrees till every trace of memory is washed away, as it were. Yet the differing time-spans and historical situations mean that traces of the one or the other shall remain and linger in history: even as a reminder of its vanquished foes. To act as the germ for the next re-birth.
It almost sounds like a recycled vision of life here! But the point is: the reliance of many people to expect perfect solutions from others - while they do not realise the reliance of their own existences to the success of those very ideas whose particular aspects they may not like. Even as the existence of people who may not like these people either.
The discovery of anti-americanism in strange places within the United States is what gets one's attention. But is it merely anti-americanism or rather the particular tendencies that one sees here: as pointing at directions that may turn anti-democracy at the end of it? What are driving those tendencies is pertinent.
The relevance of NATO is more peculiar to the changing background and the need to watch that and help ensure the security of the free world.
