I don't follow you reasoning here Rafal. Would you not see the Bush
administrations decision to go to war without a Security Council resolution
and against resolution 1441 (which puts the decision as to when the
"one final opportunity" is up in the hands of the Security Council) as
against a trend to World Government? Seems to me to be a very
substantial poke in the eye for international law, may even set it back
50 plus years.
If the US steps away from multilaterally toward a series of bilateral
agreements wouldn't you expect the global economy to be less efficient
and that this might effect the role out times of technologies you might
wish to avail yourself of?
Personally I find it difficult to forget that it is the same Presidential
administration that seems to be countenancing stepping away from the
UN that is also trying so hard to ban embryonic stem cell research
wherever it can. Maybe the coupling is irrelevant and coincidental.
