~400million people were convinced that having the U.S. go to war with Iraq, despite the fact there was no evidence of WMDs in Iraq, was an excellent idea. And this was soon after 9/11.
If a tragedy that affected a large part of the world were to occur (such as the current economy, for example), I don't see it being very hard to convince most of the world that an overall 'economic overseer' government would fix a lot of problems.
Would you believe that Iraq *did* have WMD's and that they were American made? We'd supplied Saddam with all kinds of chemical and biological weapons during the Iran-Iraq war from 1980-88.
Whatever he had that we didn't give him courtesy of then CIA Director George H. W. Bush, were reverse engineered, and crude at best. The only reason we "never" found any Iraqi WMD's was because if our allies found them and realized they were American made or reverse engineered/copied from American designs, strains or components... we'd have lost all credibility.
