a real end to nationalism
One thing apart from religion that separates man from being fully united on this planet is nationalism, not the colour of their skin but the land they come from that they claim to be theirs, nationalism isn't like imperialism, imperialists want to rule over others, nationalists however do not intend to live with others.
European Unity sounds like a great idea but the truth is how small Europe is (69,000 square kilometers) the truth is that it is a nationally diverse land, the Yugoslavia Civil War (more popular known as the Balkans War) showed how unwilling certain people are to live with others of different ethnic groups and nationalities and a certain pride in ones country makes it hard not to support it all the way.
Fascism in this case didn't neither as Europe learned after the Second World War after most of its major cities were left in ruins, Europe had since given up the imperialist game and Russia was forced to after the Soviet Union fell after taking in several eastern European satellite states and their people against their own will when placing them behind the Iron Curtain.
The long fight for a United Ireland under Irish nationalists seems to have cooled down in the last 15 or so years but could spark up at any time since Irish and English people still consider themselves very different and both see the right to their land, but if both Ireland was treated as it is (as just an island) and all people living regardless of their race, religion or nationality then we would have no troubles.
Some people seem to suggest a two state solution is the only way to solve the Arab Israeli conflict, this to me is a stupid idea since that would only result in them killing each other in the finish up;
a better solution would be one democratic secular state where Jews, Arabs and Christians would live side by side in peace.
With Obama calling for a New World Order and if he starts off a chain of events that will make it an eventuality then I hope we're not looking at civil wars on a much larger scale like in Yugoslavia simply because people can't get over the fact they come from a plot of land with a name on it.
Just to prove that in most cases nationality is bogus and so are the nationalists who believe in their country take the small oil rich nation of Kuwait, Kuwait used to be part of the Ottoman empire of Basra (Basra, Baghdad and Mosul would later be joined into today's Iraq), a few square kilometers of land in the south of Basra were scouted out by the British in the 1930's and Kuwait was given sovereignty from the rest of Iraq later on because of it's huge oil resources (the fifth largest in the world), its borders were pretty much drawn on a map in London!
Yet people in Kuwait even though they are of the same ethnicity as Iraqis call themselves Kuwaitis as if it actually means something and makes them anyway different than Iraqi's!
And I can't understand Americans when they say they're proud to be American, first of all Americans are dissidents of Europeans, however today they are the whitest people in the world and seem to be new in the imperial game in which Europe and Russia got fed up of playing; only recently that is!
What is needed if we're to advance as far as it is possible (the opportunities are endless) is to eliminate nationality, have countries become regions but have no person be known by their nationality because in the end of the day;
who cares?
We're all just people!
