Re: There are some people here in the US who prepare to fight against what they see as a threat of one-world government. I guess they would stand on the opposite end of political spectrum from you. What is interesting is that even though you probably disagree with them on everything else, you agree on the subject of Israel (for different reasons of course).
I'm not sure it's that clear-cut... and I guess that some militia trigger-happy churchgoers share the same siege mentality with Jewish settlers.

Beilin rejects Israel visit by Christian Coalition head
DAVID TWERSKY
MetroWest (N.J.) Jewish News
Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Yossi Beilin's decision to block an official invitation of Christian Coalition director Ralph Reed to Israel is being criticized by pro-Israel activists as "a serious misjudgment" and "a huge mistake."
The invitation, backed by a wide array of Jewish groups and the Israeli embassy in Washington, was hatched by conservatives interested in bridging the gap between the hawkish pro-Likud evangelicals -- and their conservative GOP allies in Congress -- and the Rabin government. Reed is quite influential in the new GOP-controlled Congress.
Israeli Ambassador Itamar Rabinovich was won over to the idea after sharing a Friday evening Shabbat dinner last January with the Christian Coalition leader at the home of Marshal Breger.
Breger, a former Jewish liaison in the Reagan White House who served as a top official in the Bush labor department, is currently at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
The idea won the backing not only of embassy officials but of liberals and pro-peace activists from Americans for Peace Now, who lobbied Beilin to no avail. [...]

Besides, I'm afraid that most brainwashed militiamen are at cross-purposes with the UN and its "globaloney stooges". They live in the Bible Belt, insulated from world politics and completely unaware of the current US world governance, dubbed Pax Americana by the scholars, "hyperpower" by the Europeans, and "leadership" by the US Administration. The so-called "one-world-government" they fear is merely an attempt by other countries to restrain US unilateralism abroad. It has nothing to do with meddling in the US's domestic politicking... I mean, just take Affirmative Action as a case in point: that's an issue on which ALL those militia nuts agree: they basically view it as a Communist, racist (reverse discrimination) measure that subversively stands against America's meritocratic work ethic... Well, was Affirmative Action enforced by the UN upon unyielding Americans? Nope, because Affirmative Action is precisely one of these Yankee jack-in-the-box's that run counter to the worldview of most other peoples --Europe, Russia, Japan, etc...
