I appreciate the vision you have, and indeed I share the idea of a humanity united and working together - one that has rid itself of borders and opportunistic leaders. Right now, as you point out, those leaders are wreaking havoc on the world. Your proposal to meet with your traditional "enemies" sounds great, but it won't put out the fire.
