Yes, of course. While it is very unfortunate, it seems that the terrorist attacks themselves are helping to force nations to work together.>

I recently read a very interesting science fiction story, where a brilliant scientist "invents" a threat from outer space - that is, makes it seam real. May have been by Theodore Sturgeon, but I am not sure at this moment. The story itself is quite old.
The end-result, in the story, was a grand unification of the entire planet.
