Imagine no more countries

The concept of a united world with no countries seems ideal. Religion often is accused of being the root cause of hate and death. Religion can only do this from a position of power, and power comes from government, be it tribal leadership, a king, a dictator, or the leader of a republic.

As part of our nature, we are attracted to power. We want to be powerful and want our leader to reflect or enhance our power. Even Gandhi exuded a peaceful power, a confidence in what is right. We are not swayed to support a leader because he makes sense. We are swayed because his power leads us to view his positions as making sense.

One of the aspects of power is to lead people, either towards something or against someone, often both.

In Obama, we have the typical leader-follower situation. He is reshuffling the deck, because he can.

If there were just one world government, there would be one world leader. That leader would have to be leading us towards something and/or against someone, and would use his specific agenda to make that happen. This would limit opposition, alternative approaches to problems, and would reduce the opportunity to find a better solution for the problems that beset humanity and the world. And if you were on the wrong side of his equation for the future, you would have no options.

Imagine a world with no genetic mutations. There would be no evolution, no progress. The concept of one world government is unnatural and unhealthy.

However, peace is due to the acceptance of the status quo of power. For example, radical Islam fundamentalism believes that they can express more power, and the proof of it is in the results of their activities since the late 1970s. Their ability to do this comes from their leaders, who seem powerful. The empowerment of those who believe in peaceful coexistence with the West and with Israel has to be the goal of our country. And the demonstration of the weakness of those who oppose that position.
