Steve, I have no love for the Birchers or great fear that some new world order will be able to marshall the behaviour of individuals any better than previous regimes, for very long anyway. I do have apprehensions about a unified world government simply because there would be no clear alternative or counterbalance if this power turns out to be "evil". I think it would nice if the U.S. could operate from the basis of the constitution in its internal and external affairs but that is anymore just a dream. U.N. mercanaries seems a not unreasonable way to provide a fighting force which avoids the odd allegiances required of national soldiers. If I lost a son in some far flung battle it wouldn't make much difference to me whether the V.P. called it "for the U.N." or "for the U.S." because the latter would be just as dishonorable as the former in context of the actions the U.S. has taken on in the last 40 years or so. Anyway, what I most object to is the facile dismissal of all Mr. Sturgeon presented as "just Bircher trash" because it is little better , no better actually, than the response you get from the self-vaunted Galt.
