And he depicts Canada as facing a historic choice between junior partnership in an emerging American empire or committing itself more resolutely to the multilateral agencies and structures that offer a counterweight -- based on international law and treaties -- to tyranny and terrorism but also to U.S. political, economic and military might. This is indeed the crux of the multilateralists' arguments. On one side: American power. On the other side: a desperate attempt to restrain American power. This is not an argument over policy at bottom (or if it is, I have yet to figure what specific policies are being favored or disfavored). It is an effort to band together to stop America from doing whatever America is trying to do. Why else would these liberal champions of human rights find themselves effectively arguing for the right of Saddam Hussein to keep killing Iraqis and obtain nuclear weapons? There is not a single reason why they should take this side of the argument, save for the fact that America is taking the other side of it.
