Clearly there are now states who cannot control their borders and without this power they can never be sovereign states and certainly not democratic states. Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan are suffering from this condition and it was caused mainly by the United States. Can the fox who ravaged the chicken coop ever make the coop safe? It seems impossible yet the United States government alone in the past has been successful creating states with secure borders and forcing by law state governments to govern themselves democratically and without corruption. The great European nations lack a political system capable of making a state like Syria secure except as a colony ruled from London or Paris or Moscow. The government in Washington DC does not rule any of the American states and it is itself not a state. If Syria became the fifty-first American state, then Russia, Israel, Turkey and France would either retreat beyond Syria’s borders or else be blown away by the American military. Syria would be a sovereign state again with two governments, one in Washington and one in Damascus, and its political leaders in both governments would have to be elected democratically by Syrian citizens. Once elected, if they acted tyrannically or corruptly, they would be tried in court and put in jail for violating Federal laws by the Federal Department of Justice. Every state in the world can possibly lose control of its borders. They all need a world central government with just enough sovereign power to back them up militarily and judicially.
