However, there seems to be some concerns over the possible UN involvement and what it means to US Sovereignty ?
Since the game is over, I'd thought I'd drop the links and let things roll.

Someone mentioned The Onion and that is what Pamela Geller's article reads like, except she is dead serious which makes it even funnier. For whatever reason, some people have a fear of the UN which borders on the pathological. The UN is all bark an no bite. They talk. They pass resolutions. But, they can't even enforce their own resolutions unless countries volunteer forces. Hell, Saddam thumb his nose at UN resolutions for over a decade before the US removed his government from power despite objections from numerous UN members. People who are afraid of the UN have a tenuous grip on reality and probable still sleep with a night light on because they're also afraid of the Boogeyman.
Are you familiar with the Director of National Intelligence? Before 911, no one US intelligence agency coordinated foreign, domestic, and military intel and it turned out these agencies didn't share intel very well. To me, this Strong Cities United seems similar. One unifying organization which collects, collates, and disseminates best policies and procedures for cities to defend against terrorism. I see that as a good thing and Pamela Gellar as a lunatic fear mongerer trying to sell her next book.
