It seems that the alleged features of the North American Union are remarkably similar to the features of the North American Community described in this document:

So what? Neither exist. I read some cool science fiction about future societies. The fact that I can point to the book doesn't prove the society described is real.

Setting the question of actual implementation of either acronym aside

Thanks for playing.

I'm still getting a good chuckle out of this:

A: "I say that bull is a steer!"
B: "How do you know?"
A: [provides link to the AVMA]
B: "That doesn't prove the bull is a steer."
A: "That's just your unsubstantiated opinion!"
B: "Huh?"
A: "I provided a link!"

Why do you want to do things the hard way?

The time to get rid of Hitler was the 1930's or the 1920's. But noooo, we had to wait until he was master of the Wehrmacht and half of Europe.

In 1937, your logic would bid us wait while he gathered his strength, on the grounds that he hadn't yet done anything that merited our squashing him. You might have raised numerous arguments from sovereignty and international law -- and you'd have been dead wrong the whole time.

The right answer, which George W. Bush exercised against Saddam Hussein and which Henry Kissinger implemented against Salvador Allende of Chile and the MNR that was waiting in the wings with their "second revolution" to take Chile, finally and unshakably, into the Second World's orbit, is to move when one is morally sure of one's grounds against something that is recognizably a Bad Thing, or against someone who is recognizably a Bad Actor.

That's the point, which you are scoffing at because you're shilling for the bad guys, and have been for some time.
