FWers will be interested in Michael Ignatieff's most recent NYT Mag piece. Arguing that the US must relocate itself as a 1st among equals deferring to a reformed and revitalized United Nations, Ignatieff closes his essay with this sentence: "Pax Americana must be multilateral, as Franklin Roosevelt realized, or it will not survive. Without clear principles for intervention, without friends, without dreams to serve, the soldiers sweating in their body armor in Iraq are defending nothing more than power. And power without legitimacy, without support, without the world's respect and attachment, cannot endure." Sounds right to me. See: "Why Are We In Iraq? (And Liberia? And Afghanistan?)," The New York Times Magazine (7 September 2003) by Michael Ignatieff http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/07/magazine/07INTERVENTION.html Stephen Straker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Vancouver, B.C.
