Ted, Let me ask you a question.......if you were watching the American war for independence simply as an observer who's side would you have been on?

Honestly, I'm not sure. It would have been a struggle between my conservative ways of thinking, which would have led me to be a loyalist, and my perception of England's screwing of the colonies, which would have led me to be a revolutionary.

However what I saw it as initially was the first, albeit small, step towards world gov't.

I don't doubt that Europeans have grand visions of a world government. But all alliances are formed out of necessity, not out of some ideal of a world utopia. No nation would willingly cede its sovereignty if that nation has nothing to gain from an alliance.

Besides, the whole idea of a world government is unrealistic ... unless of course racial and cultural lines start disappearing. Oh, and don't forget geographical divisions as well. The world isn't THAT small, you know.
