Mithril - a possible reality?

Mithril is fictional organisation in Full Metal Panic series which is a self appointed military force (or mercenary) that fights terrorism across the globe and intercedes on behalf of justice.

So can such a organisation be possible to even exist in our modern world? It makes alot of sense to have an independent force that has no financial or political self-interest in any of the contry's of conflicts. Because lets us put it bluntly, countries do not go and liberate people from injustices just because it is the right thing to do. When the US went to Iraq to bring down Saddam, you can say in that they had many major interest in it which to them was worth the men and resources for such an effort. But what about the conflicts in Africa? The corrupt goverments there? Does the US go and send their troops there to solve it? No because they don't have a major interest in it. Any country goverment before sending off major resources such as their army to anywhere will always put their self-interest first. Its just what a goverment is supposed to do.

A military/mercenary organisation such as Mithril is one where they can actually perform direct action on trouble regions without to say "It is not in my interest" or "There are other countries stopping me". Of course such an organisation must really have BIG connections and MAJOR financial resources to pull it off. And not to mention a major foothold in advance technology. And yes it seems quite a silly notion for an organisation main purpose to be just for justice. But it would really solve alot of the world's conflict when direct action is really neded instead of all these diplomacy and backroom talking crap that always happens.

I have been reading the Full Metal Panic novels which has better describes the organisation and I am really inspired by it. As much as it it fictional, if I ever been able to make my billion AND the right connections, I'll be sure to try to start up an organisation like that.

But that can be twisted to be viewed as Al Qaeda being an organisation who adheres to their Islamic ideology and seek to protect/expand their ideology by means of their elite group.  And Mithril as an organisation who adheres to their capitalistic/democratic ideology and seek to protect/expand their ideology by means of their elite group.

That perspective can even be construed to say that Al Qaeda is more passive, choosing to only intervene in key areas whereas Mithril is even more ambitious and seeks to influence a greater stage.  (Again, this only 'makes sense' if Al Qaeda targetted only military and government.)

I kind of see the logic behind that type of reasoning and how it can be used against Mithril.

Al Qaeda basically fights for Islam. And this is where it different. It does not tolerate other religions. Other cultures to them are the devils work. On top of the that, the Islam they preach is the extremist one. Though assuming Al Qaeda only DID targetted millitary and govt targets, then 9/11 wouldn;t had happened and Im sure the public will just think of them as just another hostile army and not a terrorist group. A terrorist group uses terror. The IRA was something like this but even if they did gave warning before each bomb attack their targets were most of the time were civilians. They aimed to cause terror.

Mithril would not be in the business of terror. It would be the exact opposite. And Mithril's aim is for the whole of mankind. I don;t think its ideas are capitalistic though.

Another world conflict that Mithril would be involved in is the pirating activities in the Straits of Malaca.

As an actual organization most of the members would turn out to be  exactly like Blueno.

Unless you paid each merc enough to make each of them millionaires. That would mean Mithril must have trillions in capital.

Useless fuck.

Human motives are being over-simplified throughout; to suggest that any one reason can move a country to spend trillions kill a half a million and sacrifice thousands is hopelessly naive. an effort like that requires the moblization of many divergent interests; many people must get their share of many different pies. over-simplification is only useful as a tool of demonization, which is why it's so ironic to see it employed so cavalierly by anglo-european liberals. what's good for the goose, hmm?... it's every bit as disgusting as watching american democrats recently call for state's rights in support of gay marriage.

since the turn of the millenium, anglo-european politics have become so balkanized that anyone choosing sides is either an imbecile, or doing so merely out of hopeless desperation... where any rational, ethical person would instead realize that both sides are acting like children, and pull to the center.

I planned a mission to 'remove' Robert Mugabe from power....everything was ready to go and then.....the funding fell through. Money is EVERYTHING in this game. Dont think for one second you can just hop on a plane somewhere and start fighting the bad guys. Better taking out the bastartds in charge.
