Here is what Warren Hoge of the International Peace Institute said about A Global Agenda:
With peacekeepers more numerous than ever and demands for them increasing alarmingly, now is the time to examine the recent experiences of UN missions in Sudan, Congo, Haiti, Somalia and other trouble spots. The chapter in this book does so in a highly informative and readable way.

What is your response to those who oppose the UN's Global Agenda, especially the "pesky issue of national sovereignty" (FOX News).

Please understand I am asking, not looking for debate.

However, many say that the "Agenda" puts much at risk when confronted with American Civil Liberties and Rights under the Constitution.

As a matter of fact, I had to search a while to find this, a "Pro View" look at the Agenda.
