Anti-GDODAD nations should stand down, GDODAD not a threat!

ESAMOPIA CITY, Esamopia -- Dozens of international reporters have gathered in this beautiful city for coverage on the most recent meetings of the Foreign Affairs Senate Committee hearings. At issue, the viability of the GDODAD alliance and its potential threat on the world.

The stunning announcement, made by the Chair of the Committee, read: "Anti-GDODAD alliances, combinations, and pacts should come to an end immediately. GDODAD has been proven to be benign and the international community should soon point the finger on such combinations, as they are the ones that are most likely to spark any conflict."

The official findings, numbering more than a thousand pages, paint a vivid picture of the failings of the GDODAD in meaningful action. Two volumes were devoted on the following core issues:

Volume 1: "The very combination of a group of dictators is inherently evil and all nations that value peace and security must resist such combinations at the highest of costs."

This volume demolished that assumption, citing a great deal of evidence. Scores of professors and distinguished experts in the field gave testimony that challenged the assumption, arguing that the GDODAD itself has not acted coersively against any nation in recent memory, has not attempted to use its overwhelming power and resources to invade hapless nations, and has only expanded due to the presence of powerful nations, in a completely voluntary manner. If anything, many experts alluded to the GDODAD in this respect as a guardian of world peace and stability, and argued that by combining in this manner, the individual nations that make-up the alliance are less likely to act in a hostile manner towards others. In fact, even the most psychotic of dictators is usually quelled by his/her membership in the GDODAD and is therefore less likely to commit individual acts of unbridled aggression.

Volume 2: This volume of the report was devoted to challenging another assumption, that of rumors between GDODAD and other powerful "malevolent" alliances combining to form a "superalliance" that would place virtually every NS nation under its mercy.

Again, the findings of dozens of hours of testimony and endless reports suggested a totally different picture. Given AMF's recent withdrawal from the Alliance it helped resurrect, many experts in geopolitics believe that the GDODAD is now more split than ever before and unlikely to come to a grand understanding with other nations if its own affairs are not in order. With some nations calling AMF's leader a "traitor" for his actions, while other members downplaying the decision to withdraw as "well-timed" and occuring in a non-crisis situation, the alliance's own leaders are uncertain how to react. Surely, argued many experts, this instability, or appearance of instability at the very least, would discourage the formation of any grand alliance to jeopardize humanity.

The reporters gathered here will broadcast live any other significant findings occuring at these hearings, though it is likely that such meetings will be adjourned after wrapping up some trivial questions.

Any war that comes of these alliances, GDODAD should bear the brunt of the blame, it is not in response to any threat, it's simply a bunch of nations banded together in an alliance, and that scares smaller nations to form their own alliances to make sure they can feel safe just in case. The same thing happened in World War I, if GDODAD is no threat, why does it exist?

I grow tired of GDODAD nations saying that the anti-GDODAD alliances are the reason for all the war, if there was no GDODAD there would be no anti-GDODAD alliances, I mean, these things are growing out of nations that want to rest assured they won't be overrun, if GDODAD would simply cease to exist, I'm positive future war would be avoided, whereas the same thing cannot be said if just the anti-GDODADs cease to exist, as that still leaves on side that may attack, and draw in a bunch of nuetral nations to the other side.

OOC:

Apparently no one read anything I wrote or is choosing to ignore it completely in writing their responses!

First off, I am not a member of GDODAD... in fact I can hardly be one of their supporters having humiliated some of their leaders in former posts and I would never dream of helping that rotten alliance.

Second, this is intended to say that anti-GDODAD people should stand down because GDODAD itself is VERY weak, completely incapable of a successful invasion, and cannot even manage its own affairs let alone a bigger alliance and plans for world domination, especially with AMF's recent withdrawal.

Semi-OOC:

ONE MORE THING!

To all those who think that NS would be "safer" with GDODAD dissolved, think again. At this moment, we have a bunch of dictators too cowardly to attack in one big group of cowards. Should this ever dissolve, perhaps someone will actually get some guts and ATTACK a democracy already!

I have never directly felt threatened by GDODAD. This group appears to have given up it's warmongering was a very long time ago. To the anti-GDODAD's, they are not threatening anyone at the moment, don't go stiring up trouble over nothing.

Personally, I wouldn't be asshamed to call GDODAD an ally one day...

We bring you live to the Committee's most recent hearing, where we have been told that an "important" announcement may occur:

"...and we shall bring victory to the forces of peace! We will never sur-"
"Thank you, Mr. Garrison, but your time is up. Will the Secretary announce the next witness?"
The Chairman was quite happy, from being randomly assigned to a "politically unimportant" committee, he has gained some popularity and even a personal visit with the Prime Minister. He also enjoyed the buzz of cameras, now that he has gotten used to it.
"Mr. Chairman, I announce that Dr. Ikocas, Professor of Deviant Studies and Associate Director of Esamopia University's Psychology Department, is prepared to give his testimony."
"Thank you Mr. Secretary, you may begin Doctor."
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My statement will be brief, as much of what I have said has been said earlier in some form or another by my colleagues in your past hearings. The only creative idea I have to add is a suggestion to this committee to open up its hearings so that other international experts, should they choose to, may take part."

After a brief murmur, the Chair gavelled everyone back to order, and accepted a motion to go into recess for lunch.

----------------------------

Fourty-five minutes later

"Order, order. I understand that the Distinguished Senator from Kampalla District has a motion?"
"Yes, Mr. Chairman. In accordance with Dr. Ikocas' suggestion, I have presented a written motion calling on special sessions of this committee to be invite international experts, should they choose to take part, in our GDODAD related hearings."
"Very well, the motion appears to be in order. Is there a second?"
A few voices simultaneously seconded the motion, the Secretary took down the appropriate notes.
"Is there need for further debate?" The Chair glanced at the fellow Senators and saw no one who desired more time for debate.
"Is there an objection to ending debate. Seeing none, the motion is put to question."
The motion was carried unanimously.
The Chair then read the following statement before adjourning the Committee:

"ANY AND ALL foreign experts who wish to testify before this committee are free to do so, we welcome those who can shed further light on these important issues and will thank them for their services. This hearing is adjourned."

The Commonwealth of Chimaea notes that there hasn't been a major allied attack on GDODAD in a very long time. However... out of a matter of course, our forces will always stand ready to rapidly respond to any GDODAD threat.
