Keeping The Peace
This editorial from today's Washington Post, written by Anne-Marie Slaughter, the dean of Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, shows that, contrary to President Bush's popular pronouncements, the United Nations will not be irrelevant if it doesn't just roll over for the current American lust for Iraqi blood. As a matter of fact, the current situation (i.e. putting the breaks on war through civilized diplomacy, while backed up by the threat of military force) is exactly what the UN was designed to do in the first place.
