Global government? So how are these "they" gonna get countries in the middle east, China, Russia, Africa, Europe and every other country under control? How are they going to force their laws etc on to these countries? It will never happen. Oh let me guess they will just nuke the countries that don't cooperate.

Easy, by forming blocks/unions of said regions. Like the European American Union they will form other blocks from different regions and eventually merge the blocks into one. There argument is that they are doing this for the benefit of trade, until they become one region. That's how EUTC became the EU and how NAFTA is becoming NAU and ETC
As for the middle east, the United States is pretty much conquering it.

Force, people are so busy watching American Idol in the states, they could careless what happens in government. How else was bills like:
Patriot Act I
Patriot Act II (Which the senate was ot allowed to read)
Victory Act
Victory Act II
Military Commisions Act
Defensive Authority Act
And many other un-fair laws passed?
People hate Bush, but did they stop him from removing congress from many process like declaring war:

Which inadvertantly removes the american people from said process.
I believe there's something in the Constitution that allows a President to use military force without congress' consent, and gives a month or so for congress to convene and decide on the matter.
I'm not 100% sure and I'm not going to search through the constitution, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
And I don't think the people have ever had a say in whether we go to war or not. That's the job of our elected officials.
