[quote][b]Plan for the New World Order[/b]
According to George Bush Sr, there are three key points to create a New Global World Order:
1 Changing the offensive use of force and moving towards the rule of law.
2 Transforming geopolitics to a collective security agreement.
3 Using international cooperation as the most incredible power.

[b]The new world order in US history[/b]
After World Wars I and II, political leaders such as Woodrow Wilson and Winston Churchill introduced the term "new world order" to global politics to describe a new era of history marked by a profound shift in world political philosophy and the worldwide balance of power. Specifically, it was introduced with Woodrow Wilson's attempt to build a League of Nations that was aimed at avoiding another World War. After the Second World War, it was clear that this had failed, and so the United Nations was established in 1945 to try to increase cooperation and prevent a third world war, in essence, to create a new world order.

@ElwoodBlues Yeah.. The only rider on all this was that Bush saw the rule of law based on the US court system through trade agreements and the $US continuing to reign supreme, giving the US the whip hand in negotiations..😷
