Peter, Condi is a level headed person that is very intelligent, and she doesn't seem to have any bones to pick. I'm not so sure about Dick, and Karl, though. Dick does have a strong background in business that is engrained in his thinking, and Karl has only the single goal of getting his man elected by whatever means. Donald is good for the military, and had a humonguos job to rebuild it after the damage done by the Clintons, but I don't know much else about him.

I think the media has found a weak link in the political world in the democrats, and are riding that horse into the ground. The media is the controller, and the Dems are the puppets.

A one world government would end up being the worst form of Communism any world has ever seen.

With a world government they could use the resources from the rich regions to reduce the suffering in the poor areas.

Yes, and most likely end up inadvertently (or knowingly) supporting what ever war lord or petty dictator that's usually causing all the suffering to begin with.

Redistributing wealth is an interesting problem. How can it be done without supporting the status quo in regions that need it? Somalia comes to mind where even our most sincere efforts were of little or no avail.
