I'm not sure I understand your question. And, you miscopied my original post; this only adds to my confusion.
As for my comments regarding Ban Ki Moon, they were made in jest...sort-of a verbal caricature. As the only superpower left, the USA is - by default - the only nation
able to police the world.* If the USA abdicates, the UN could take over...I guess. From a worldly point-of-view, the UN would have a ''sort-of'' moral authority that many nations may follow...maybe. Bear in mind that the UN is hostile to the USA and to Western values in general. And the UN is
very hostile to Israel. Is this the police force you - and other myopic Ron Paul supporters - want?
Anyway, Ron Paul is toast. He's endearing by virtue of his integrity - just like Howard Stern - but ultimately, he's a crackpot.

* actually, the USA is no longer able to police the world but she still has the moral authority to lead other Western nations into doing so.
