Default Re: BBC News Night 9 Oct 2008 uses the phrase New World Order

"New World Order" as a catch phrase has been in the lexicon since the 19th century. The first time I heard it on TV was in a speech by George Bush, Senior during his presidency.

The Bahai writings, originating in the mid-1800's, are full of references to "The New World Order" in the context of when the world recognizes Baha'u'llah as the prophet of the new age.

It's dangerous to think that anyone's notion of "New World Order" is the same as your own. What looks like "order" to some may mean "mayhem" to others. However, it may be interesting to watch the development of the concept as it gains the public's attention.
