I would tend to agree that a united world is not an inherently bad thing. Unfortunately, it implies that first there be unity of thought, but there are about 6 billion perspectives on the planet that defy that prospect from the outset. Look at this forum of some 330 people as a microcosm of the world, half of which are diametrically opposed to the others beliefs about religion, politics, energy, abortion, gun control, the events of 9/11 and the need for a new investigation, a sense there will be true justice for all, poverty, health care, the human need for power over others, resources, the environment, science...you name it. Until a group like the UN can prove that it exists for the benefit of all mankind, which it has proven to be a miserable failure at in its 60 odd years in business, the dream of a world with a united purpose will remain just that...a dream.
