Mind explaining why a WG would improve this?  Just for an example, I
bet it would be pretty easy to get a billion or so Chinese to vote
that China should continue to administer Tibet even under a WG.  Do
you really think enough other people would care enough to vote against
them?

You mean like the Soviet Union?  Well, we seem to have corrected that
problem without a WG.

The fact that we pay for them.

Are you really willing to live with a Chinese style birth control program?

Most of the world's people are in the Third World.  Should we drop our
environmental regs to their level?

>peace and security,

Given that nations can't do a very good job of guaranteeing these
within their borders why should a WG be any better?

Why should we have an even global economic playing field?  If people
want luxuries like six week vacations why shouldn't they pay for them?

Ah.  OK.  Now how do you keep it like that?  Are you aware of how
small the Federal government was supposed to be?  And looks what it's
grown into.  Now how do you prevent that from happening to the WG?
