"But the apparent willingness to embark
on new military adventures in Somalia and in Iraq suggests that
some in the White House and the State Department have lost
the plot."

" At home, meanwhile, President Bush's concept of infinite
justice has shown itself to be deeply flawed. His proposals for
secret military tribunals for terrorist suspects are morally
deplorable and politically senseless. An international court -
such as the tribunal before which Slobodan Milosevic now
faces justice - would be better by far.

Worse still is the implacable US opposition to the proposed
international criminal court. America has lined itself up with Iraq
in rejecting the idea, and the Senate has voted for measures
prohibiting all co-operation with it. Mr Bush has discovered that
he needs all the foreign friends he can get. And yet, if America
continues to resist the possibility of genuinely international
justice, he could lose those friends overnight."
