The UN is ineffectual, and one should view with some anxiety aspirations to hasten the advent of world government. (I don't even want to be in full political union with France, much less the Ivory Coast, in the foreseeable future). But I agree, it is too dependent an organization to demonize.......

I focus on Nader because Buchanan is too easy to trash, even for a mainstream conservative, and I think the problem is populism, not "conservatism". I mean by "populism", not the desire to have government benefit the broad mass of the people, which is merely democracy, but the historical tendency to overdramatize the process of change, and assume too much intentionality behind the scenes.

Most of what has transpired was neither foreseen nor planned by anyone. Someone like Alex (and I hope she is well) creates cobwebs, assuming order where there is none, and connecting dots because she can imagine something to be so, not because there is any solid evidence. Thus,to her, the Rockefellers and the Trilateral Commission are using the Bush candidacy to forward a plan towards the New World Order, which is both good (for it will impose order), and bad, for it will benefit the plutocrats at the expense of the People. I am sure that she has alternative scenarios for however the election comes out, and is fully convinced that the indecision of the electorate is just a ruse concocted by our true masters. Actually, as you probably know from your own experience, in large organizations, one frequently hardly knows what the guy in the office next door is doing, it is difficult to get a straight answer, secrets cannot be kept unless the circle in the know is very small, and it is difficult to coordinate activity across departments, let alone countries.
