No, but you can at least try. Specifically, you and me don't have much power over this situation, but the U.S. government does. And the question was not, what can you and I do, but what do I suggest that the U.S. government should do.
World problems should be solved cooperatively, whether you like it or not. The present system is simply not working very well.
World peace will come, whether we want it, or not.
"Whether peace is to be reached only after unimaginable horrors precipitated by humanity's stubborn clinging to old patterns of behaviour, or is to be embraced now by an act of consultative will, is the choice before all who inhabit the earth. At this critical juncture when the intractable problems confronting nations have been fused into one common concern for the whole world, failure to stem the tide of conflict and disorder would be unconscionably irresponsible."

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
