5. We do, but it's up to India's government to decide what they want to do.
In case nobody's noticed, we're not a one-world government quite yet.

Greenpeace can pay people pennies to hold up a sign begging... Secretary of State Clinton to help, but the last I checked she does not reside in India's government and therefore has no official status. She may have clout, but it's still up to India's government to do their part too.

Ditto for every government and those who run it versus outsiders looking in, regardless of clout they may have.



Greenpeace doing this stunt was probably very naive. Then again, maybe they're telling the world to look to US officials as the only competent leaders on this planet and that nobody else has the capability. (Which is :sarcasm: to be sure, but looking solely at that picture and knowing we're not a one-world government, there are plenty of possible ideas for people to conjure up without any context.)
