2008-06-18 “There are some who believe that we must try to turn back the clock on this new world; that the only chance to maintain our living standards is to build a fortress around America; to stop trading with other countries, shut down immigration, and rely on old industries. I disagree. Not only is it impossible to turn back the tide of globalization, but efforts to do so can make us worse off. Rather than fear the future, we must embrace it. I have no doubt that America can compete — and succeed — in the 21st century. And I know as well that more than anything else, success will depend not on our government, but on the dynamism, determination, and innovation of the American people.”
-- Barack Obama, Speech in Flint, Michigan
2008-01-15 One of the major problems resulting from globalization is that less than 10 percent of mankind owns more than 90% of the business potential. In the long run, this economic disproportion will not be sustainable.
-- According to Lech Walesa, the first president of a free and independent Poland and the founder of Solidarity, Addressing local business leaders at a reception in Tel Aviv, Israel
2008-01-15 Europe will eventually become a federation like the United States of America, and that only 50 years down the line the world will be able to tackle globalization and evaluate its effects.

2007-11-20 "Manitoba has been working with the Canadian government and state governments in the U.S. to protect and enhance our access to key trade markets. In response to U.S. border and security measures, Manitoba will begin offering an enhanced driver's license as an affordable and secure form of identification for travelers. The new license will be available in the Fall of 2008. Manitoba is also taking a major role in the development of a Mid-Continent Trade Corridor, connecting our northern Port of Churchill with trade markets throughout the central United States and Mexico. To advance the concept, an alliance has been built with business leaders and state and city governments spanning the entire length of the Corridor. When fully developed, the trade route will incorporate an 'in-land port' in Winnipeg with pre-clearance for international shipping."
-- Lt. Governor John Harvard of Manitoba in a "Speech From The Throne"
2007-11-01 Globalization: The spread of capitalism across the globe along with the intensification of international trade and the diffusion of manufacturing, investment and finance.
-- According to Barry R. Posen, in his article, The Case for Restraint -- Foreign policy after George W. Bush
2007-11-01 (a) the great concentration of capability in the United States relative to other consequential powers, a condition often shorthanded as “unipolarity”;
(b) the re-emergence of identity politics, especially amalgams of religion and ethno-nationalism, as the key ideational foundations of modern domestic and, to a lesser extent, international political conflict;
(c) the diffusion of power—especially military power—to nominally weak states and to non-state actors alike;
(c) globalization.

These four facts each have discrete effects on the international environment, but they also interact.

2007-10-23 "Sarkozy (French President) Calls for Mediterranean Union Launch in 2008."
-- Emmanuel Jarry, Reuters reporter
2007-10-17 "Although many conservatives refuse to accept the reality, George W. Bush is a one-world neo-liberal who drove budget and trade deficits to record heights....President Bush has pressed hard for the Security and Prosperity Partnership, the first step toward a North American Union that will threaten our sovereignty. The administration has permitted American businesses to hire illegal aliens, encouraged the invasion of 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens and has given Mexico and corporate America dominion over our borders and our immigration policy....The assault on our national sovereignty continues....The president is urging the Senate to act favorably on our accession to the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea....The treaty will submit the United States to international tribunals largely adverse to our interests, and dispute resolution mechanisms are stacked against the United States....The treaty would undermine our national sovereignty and act as a back door for global environmental activists to direct U.S. policy." Fortunately, in Congress, House Concurrent Resolution 40 states: "Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada."
-- Lou Dobbs in his CNN commentary "Beware the Lame Duck"
2007-10-08 Vicente Fox on CNN's "Larry King Live" show explained that what he and President Bush agreed to "is a trade union for all the Americas," and he suggested that eventually there would be a regional currency.

Fox made similar comments on the "Daily Show" the same day.
2007-09-19 “Islam is one of the most challenging alternative to Western ideology and the discourse of globalization. The challenge is to connect.”
-- Jocelyn Cesari, French visiting associate professor of Islamic studies and director of Harvard University’s “Islam in the West” program and is also the author of When Islam and Democracy Meet
