Exactly.

The problem is we won't get it because the rest of the world is scared to act rather than react.

Is like that 800 lb Gorilla in the room. Everybody sees it, everybody is scared of it, but NOONE will step up and handle it so they think it will just go away on it's own if you ignore it long enough. That's the U.N.'s idealogy about it. "Just give them more time, they'll figure out we don't like that by the scowl on our faces".....

Again, if a law has no teeth and the police have no power, what is keeping everything in check? Nothing.
