good.

>> it can do nothing against the "biggest kid will do whatever he wants" rule of nature <<

the way we're headed we won't be the biggest kid in the sandbox for long.

>> if the un starts to get real power over sovereign nations then i would be concerned <<

it already has trampled on the sovereignty of other nations against their will. the examples of the UN treading on our sovereignty (like putting US troops under UN command) is our own doing. don't kid yourself and think that we aren't moving in the direction of handing over more. you have already seen examples of the UN proclaiming they have the authority to interfere in foreign affairs on behalf of human rights. now we are still powerful enough to thumb our nose at them like clinton did when he conducted an illegal war in the balkans, but one day america may be sorry at the monster they created.

this movement toward a one world order or global govt is not just a coincidence or being forced upon us. our politicians and business leaders are actively pursuing it. just like everything the govt becomes involved in, you have to nip it in the bud before it gets out of control and it's too late.

you want an example? how about a bunch of europeans telling american as apple pie GE that they couldn't acquire HON. american regulators cleared the deal. it not only angered the most respected CEO in america, but it angered our president as well. perfect example of how we signed away our american sovereingty in the name of "free" trade and let a bunch of europeans tell two american companies they couldn't hook up.
