 Government invlovement is already
 occuring. Only problem is it's just
 one government - that of the U.S.A.

 It is essential that national interests
 of the othe 190+ nations on Earth involve
 themselves. If this occurs we all would
 probably abide by their joint decisions.

 As it now stands a US backed committee
 (IAHC) is attempting to determine what
 is the appropriate course of action for
 the whole darned planet. Highly dangerous
 legally speaking and very unsatisfactory.

 All IMHO.
