Robert Pastor, a leading intellectual force in the move to create an EU-style North American Community, told WND he believes a new 9/11 crisis could be the catalyst to merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

Pastor, a professor at American University, says that in such a case the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP – launched in 2005 by the heads of the three countries at a summit in Waco, Texas – could be developed into a continental union, complete with a new currency, the amero, that would replace the U.S. dollar just as the euro has replaced the national currencies of Europe.

In May 2005, Pastor was co-chairman the Council on Foreign Relations task force that produced a report entitled "Toward a North American Community," which he has claimed is the blueprint behind the SSP declared by President Bush, Mexico's then-President Vicente Fox, and Canada's then-Prime Minister Paul Martin.

There are, as you can see at that first link, mounds of articles about the North American Union process which is under way now. I think Pastor's suggestion should not be taken lightly; while he is one man and not a consortium a la PNAC, he by no means stands alone in these matters. I compare his comments about this to Brzezinski's February comments about a possible near-future terror pretext for invading Iran.

Suggested topic for discussion: NAU propulsion vs. invasion of Iran as competing motivations for the next 9/11 (or, if you prefer, Pearl Harbor III). Maybe both? It is widely believed, now, that 9/11 was motivated by a combination of interests, as many also believe was the case with the conspirators who killed JFK.
