Earlier I was musing on the situation with the UN:
From the UN's perspective: if the US 'fails' in the WOT, the UN may stand to gain in stature in the world as the greatest political power (though it's connected to no country).Anyone have any thoughts on this?I would speculate that the UN, or at least Kofi Annan, has decided that Islam will be the most likely victor and has been aligning itself so as to be in their good graces when they do.
Wild speculation has the UN becoming a foundation for the imposition, implementation and enforcement of Sharia Law. Given the Islam's stated goal is world domination, it would only make sense, from Islam's perspective, to use the existing structure that is the UN for their own purpose.
If, strategically, this is what al-Queda et al have in mind - and it would make sense for them to imo - Kofi Annan doesn't necessarily have to be aware of it, as there are many 'invisible' underlings in any bureaucracy that do the real work of making the machinery run. How many worker bees in the UN are Muslims, how many connected to al-queda - overtly and covertly?
The very fact that the UN is not itself a country and is not connected to or beholden to any country (and hence to any people) may be it's greatest asset from al-Queda's point of view.
'Tis something to think about...
