In 1918 the German sociologist Max Weber defined the modern state as “a human community that successfully claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory”. During his terms as US President, with the enthusiastic support of most members of Congress, George W. Bush attempted to define the global state as an inhuman community which would have the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force anywhere in the world.
The global authority Dubya tried to establish was neither democratic nor compassionate. As he aptly stated on the eve of his first inauguration, “If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator”. It was a mistake for us to have believed that he was alone in this quest, or that our next President would abandon it.
And now we have the PM of Israel (NetanYahoo) claiming that "nobody is immune from our intention to foil attacks against us"; in other words, the Israelis also claim the right to use physical force anywhere in the world:

Combine this with the ongoing conversion of nation states to market states, and you have the new definition of global government. It will only achieve its full expression when "Skynet" comes on line, but note well that the US, Israel, and their collaborators are feverishly working toward that goal.
And nothing about it will be democratic or compassionate.
