Who cares about making prisoners repent? Just kill em I say. <.<; *Looks to SpeX* There's your human rights. We'd be ruling the world. ALL of the world would be America. There's no reason for us to worry about that. All of the worlds recources would be ours, and we'd be able to distribute them wherever the hell we want. ... Sounds like the perfect reason why most resources are more likely to be concentrated on yourselves. Because only one governing body has the right to decide everything. Which is why, an equal body of all nations overseeing their part of the world is needed. As long as such a corruption of the heart is there, there will still be the need for equality among all nations. America has the heart of a host, but not yet to the extent of a heart of a elder brother and a wise parent just yet. If the US can change to that level of heart, then that might be a good reason to allow the US to oversee us all. Because it is essentially about trust and love. No country has reached that level yet, let alone the US. Well, the China attitude is that the US is a standard of modernity and prosperity. Likewise, the US should be a standard of heartistic culture. Change is needed and badly.

I hear Malaysia has problems with Credit Card Fraud and that Alcohol is a major contributor to a rising level in poverty. So its really not like your country is a perfect happy world or something. So seriously stop making the US out to be horrible. I made this point to show that global government wont work because no country is good enough to rule to world. ....

Oh. Apparently I didn't see that since I was talking back to Nightmare.
Well, reading the news now, there's not so much of credit card fraud. Currently it's all about text messages scams and those kind of man-cheats-woman-by-scamming-her-cash-and-disappears.
The alcohol part - that is absolutely false. From our time of independence, the poverty is about a little more than 50%, but 50 years on, the poverty level has drastically decreased to about 2 to 3% of hardcore poverty. I am not aware of any more statistics and there is no news of further rising poverty. Primarily it's because the government launched incentive agricultural programs and the manufacturing base to get rid of this poverty.
Alcohol is a source of social problems everywhere, but never to the extent of making everyone poor.
At the same time, I'd like to point out that my country has never accepted the IMF aid in 1997 during the financial crisis, or else we will be much worse today. And I might not have the privilege of enjoying a computer. Also, the US administration has started using our style of identification cards by started periods on Us soldiers in Iraq. Word is, now US soldiers must have biometric ID cards, something US citizens don't have. And the more recent one was the US considering to emulate our style of economic policies. A paper of this surfaced in March 2008 here or so.
I'm rather well off here and so is pretty much everyone around here. Economy wise everyone is feeling its great effects. Now, we just need to further suppress and eliminate all forms of social corruption, the attitude of procrastination and arrogance.
I'm not going to say my country is a model, but it's a relatively good example compared to other countries around. And I'm quite glad to live here. I'd probably say the same thing if I lived in Singapore - it's the most prosperous country in SE Asia for now, and socially harmonious too.
On a more proper topic, as long as each nation fulfills their responsibilities as a part fo this world, reform the UN in a more heartistic manner and practise mutualism, global governance can work. It just needs time.
