It's a catch 22...N.W.O = World Peace, But at the most expensive cost of all, FREEDOM.
Nation-states with their massive wealth and power are the problem. The solution is either one massive state that controls everything... but such constructs are inherently fragile and rarely last long.

Its because the leaders of such systems have been unable to grasp the power they weild.
Also, the economic and social society of today is quite different than that of the Assyrians, A democratic Kingship (its a true theory) would work quite well in this day and age, as long as the right leader is found.
So, where does it say that a One World Government removes your freedom?
The ONLY way to have a long lasting, stable and powerful government and nation is by having greater control over all the aspects of society.
Your comment could be true, but we have to admit that those right leaders are hard to find, and history shows us they are quite rare. So lets not set up a system that depends on a key element that is so rare. Our founders set up a system that challenges authority. Yet they have changed the teaching in schools to one where we should be patriotic and follow the leader.
Screw leaders... if we are to have a unified world at peace then it has to rise from the ground up. Leaders are part of the problem not the solution; no matter how wise or knowledgeable, by the nature of their profession, they have a vested interest in power.

in the same post.
Mind like a steel trap. Democrat?
You want World Peace? Put an end to ambition, and the desire to dominate and control others. Put an end to the desire to be a part of a group, which makes your decisions for you. Put an end to insecurity and greed and selfishness.
What is the old saying... "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely."
It is not so much power that I am object to, its the notion that we need leaders to do it for us.
We've had 5,000 years of leaders... the act has gotten rather old if you ask me.

Many times i see on this site lots of elitism amongst Conspiracy theorists, i hope your not one of them.
No, people arnt gullible. They are actually intelligent. To have a functioning society, you need a leader. Even if you dont intend one, one appears.
People know that a world with society is preferable to one without it.
They arent gullible, they are making the choice which appeals to them, the one which allows advancement.
