How would one explain to a non-Baha'i that we already have world
unity, that the nations are already united? No non-Baha'i would agree.
The only reason Baha'is believe it is by having a 'watered down'
definition of world peace, one that doesn't involve much.... peace.
How would one also argue that the unity of nations is securely
established, particularly with the invasion of Iraq this century? Just
out of interest, what would have to happen for the unity of nations to
become unestablished? What would have to happen historically for the
Baha'i Faith to be proven wrong?
To be honest, I do not agree myself, so I would have a hard time
explaining it.

"... the modern challenge is how to live with uncertainty. The basic fault lines
today are not between people with different beliefs but between people who hold
these beliefs with an element of uncertainty and people who hold these beliefs
with a pretense of certitude." — Peter L. Berger, sociologist
