FWIW CLINTON ON THE NEW WORLD ORDER ------------------------------ During a March 7th press conference, veteran reporter Sarah McClendon asked President Clinton to "use your leadership to counteract the rumor- mongers that are abroad in the land who are spreading all these rumors that are scaring people to death. Large segments of our citizens believe that the United Nations is taking over whole blocks of counties in Kentucky and Tennessee." Amid derisive laughter from the assembled press representatives, McClendon continued: "And some of them believe that you're going to put us in a concentration camp and you're going to give our army to Russia and all that baloney. Could you do something about this, because it's hurting the unity of the United States." Mr. Clinton responded, "We're all laughing about it, but there is not an insubstantial number of people who believe that there is a plan out there for world domination and I'm trying to give American sovereignty over to the UN." Having chided the "extremists" who believe such a thing, Mr. Clinton proceeded to vindicate the essential premise of their concerns: Let me just say this: For people that are worried about it, I would say, there is a serious issue here that every American has to come to grips with...and that is, how can we be an independent, sovereign nation leading the world in a world that is increasingly interdependent, that requires us to cooperate with other people and then to deal with very different circumstances in trying to determine how best to cooperate?... [T]he issue is, we live in an interdependent world. We have to cooperate with people. We're better off when we do. We're better off with NATO. We're better off with the United Nations....So I just think for folks that are worried about this out in the country, they need to be thinking about [this]....
