That's basically what it will take. I'm not saying we should (I feel we shouldn't because obvious reasons), but that this is one solution.

I see several other possible solutions, but they are more complicated and/or limited by our current technology.

Tyranny is not a solution, no matter what the problem is (unless the problem is "Man, we're not messed up enough"). Democracy has made things immeasurably better. The current world order is as good as it's ever been, so I say we stick with that for a while.
