Before it can become a fully-fledged world government, it would have to become a half-assed world government. Right now, it is dependent on donations from members and has no independent source of revenue. As with the young, it is with states, empires, etc: No independent source of revenue means No Independence. Arnold Toynbee, the great historian, thought that the UN would not develop into a world government. I'm all in favor of larger-than-state government. I think it is both necessary and inevitable. As to when, or how...I am extremely fuzzy. I do think it would be necessary for it to start small, with a dozen states or so. The USA might speed the process along if it invades another country or two. If it invades Iran, for instance, many countries might cooperate against it in that endeavour. It was German aggression that helped bring about the League of Nations and the UN. If the USA invades Iran, Russia and the Muslim countries could cooperate against that. Russia might provide anti-aircraft weapons to the Iranians as the Americans did to the Afghans in the 1980s. It would quite possibly be in their true interest to do so. Don't forget how German aggression brought Churchill and Roosevelt and Stalin together. Foreign policy is based on the cold calculations, and there are no absolute impossibilities. An extremely radical action makes new alliances possible. What I am trying to say is that the USA needs to make sure that it doesn't make real enemies out of many other countries. They might cooperate to a degree that the Americans might not dream to be possible. I don't want the beginnings of world government to be the response to stupidly overconfident American military aggression. I would like the USA to be conservative and a force for stability in the world, not like the armies of the French Revolution, charging out to bring democracy to everyone.

Answer 5

I said exactly the same thing the other day. My daughter is a police woman and she had to go to training school for 12 weeks. I know that the police in our county and possibly others don't go to training school now, they do training at the local headquarters so perhaps Donna is supposedly doing some correspondance course. It would be interesting to email the prog and find out. I suppose the next thing will be that she is such a good officer she solves three murders.LOL
