A universal government is far off... the churning of the Middle East proves this. As for currency, I don't think present America would accept the Euro. As for religion, well, even America sees numerous religions underneath it. Attempting to convert those trenched in their own beliefs isn't going to have a friendly look to it. And finally, the U.N. is apparently full of those that are power-hungry and therefore oppose America's actions.

That would never happen... the very core of what makes us human and separates us from the lizards is FREE WILL. Not just Americans, but people from any country wouldn't and couldn't conform to a world religion. That would take away the essence of what makes us human, and the essence of what makes religion. What good is religion if there weren't disbelievers and skeptics? If everyone accepted that there was a God and he's in heaven (example of course), then it wouldn't be belief or faith anymore, but fact... which of course creates a paradox.
World government? Not until the poorer countries have money will they stop waging wars. That sounds like communism to me, and that doesn't work.
Common currency? No, America wouldn't accept the Euro. You know why? It's the European currency standard. Plus we Americans in general are raised by the school system (aka Democrats in the government) to be geocentric... if a universal currency emerged, we'd probably have to be the ones to start it or else the vast majority would be against it.
I'm the bawss.
