"United"...ummm...that would sort of imply 'national' elections, wouldn't it? With every 'citizen' having one vote as to who leads this great nation?

yeah, right...and the Jews & Palestinians will 'share' the Holy Land under one government, and North & South Korea will patch things up too...and those Afgan warlords will quietly allow a central government to run the country...and the Ethopians will agree "we're all one blood, and shouldn't fight among ourselves"

Who, ME?..cynical?
