Reply #25: Three reasons why breaking up is a bad idea

[DonCoquixote]

Their names are China, Russia and India. Add in the fact that Brazil is gaining strength, and that the EU looks like they are slowly pulling off the impossible (provided London, Berlin and Paris can stop fighting over who is first among equals.) Add to this that the Office of Islamic States can slowly become a more effective "world power" bloc than the U.N., as you will have ample funding plus a united ideology. Anyone who doubts this needs to see a documentary called "Bloody cartoons" which shows how ideologues (note I say ideologues, as they do NOT represent all Muslims by a long shot) mobilized to rock Denmark over the "Bomb" cartoon.

The point is, the rest of the world is learning to organize, despite the best efforts of the media to keep us confused. If we do not stay together, we will be pushed around by blocs that can and will use their numbers effectively.
