I would agree with this second statement, but I still don't understand
     what everyone's hangup is on a one-government world.  I mean,
     what's wrong with the U.N. having the use of real military
     power?  Or with the U.N. creating all types of international
     law?  There should be ways to deal with these threats; why not
     implement them?  Hmmm...
     
If anyone wants to e-mail me so as to try and correct my thinking (
     perhaps I'm not seeing something here), please do.  I invite 
     anyone.
