Sounds great. In theory, but Hitler, Attila, Mussolini, Alexander, Bin Laden etc all had the same vision. Only they were the ones callling the shots. So if this great world order comes to pass who will be calling the shots? The elite leaders or the people? Will we have a democratic, republic, or imperial form of government?. You do understand that the concept that some form of government is a necessary evil is still as relevant today as it was when Thomas Paine wrote it in the 1700's right? And since we will need a government to control the laws and regulations for the world like the WTO who is going to run it?.. There is no guarantee that in will be the US in fact if it was truly a democratic world than China and India would hold more power to influence our lives once we give up our borders and Constitutional rights to form this perfect democracy. Have you ever heard of the Pied Piper. Free traders are dancing to his tune IMO.

I think the scenario of a world ruler emerging out of a world in caos to set up a world order has been in the minds of many through the ages. The hope of Christ coming back to set up his Kingdom on earth is one. There have been the Hitlers and the Saddam Husseins throughout history. However, this archetypal pattern of thinking should be separate from what global free trade is about. In fact, global free trade opposes a world ruler which imposes restrictions on the free exercise of ones franchise. Market forces will determine who is playing fair and punish those who fail to play fair. It is not necessary for a pol pot ruler to mandate compliance with the world order.
