national sovereignty
Gideon Rachman writes a fascinating piece in the Financial Times about "a plausible one world government." Of course it makes sense.
First, today's difficult problems are global in scope, global financial problems, the global war on terrorism and (and although I think it's bogus, he includes it) global warming.
Second, communications/transportation advances have made the Earth smaller.
Third, national governments are pushing toward what Rachman labels 'global solutions,' on big problems.
Factor in that Obama's a globalist and a big UN guy. Democrats are quick to label themselves citizens of the world before calling themselves American citizens. The Left has long sought to emulate Europe.
Not so for me. I am a proud American citizen who acts, thinks and votes with one thought in mind: Whatever is best for the United States.
This global crap makes me sick. I don't want my President, my nation or my military being subservient to a global body or organization. But it's definitely coming.

Somehow I rather think it will work out to be three world governments. And Venezuela has been making bids to join Eurasia.
Of course, before that happens, there needs to be a geniune catastrophe - like a nuclear war, to pick a totally random example.
One of the reasons I'm very worried about Iran, not to mention this Indo-Paki bunk - which is progressing exactly as the terrorists had hoped. Had the prime ministers of both nations gone on television, standing shoulder to shoulder, and proclaimed "Despite our differences, we stand together in our commitment to fight these terrorists and murderers wherever they come from and whoever they are", it would have been a bigger blow to Islamofascism than any bombs or cruise missiles could bring on their own.
Instead, war clouds gather.
Talk about a plan coming together . . .
It might be three one day, but I do believe it will eventually devolve into one.
I'm no Bible thumper but...
