Major Article in the "New York Times Magazine" on the uselessness of the UN. I think it is giving John indigestion over his bacon and eggs this morning. :>) >>>>The truth is, we are still figuring out what the U.N., and especially the Security Council, is for in the era of American hyper-puissance, as the French have it. It may very well be true that the United States simply does not need the United Nations anymore; you might say that it almost never has. The U.S. does, however, need other countries; and the other countries we need believe in the U.N. whether we do or not. As Richard Haass, the State Department's director of policy planning, puts it, ''To the extent we need multilateralism, we're going to have to live with the reality that the U.N. will be the multilateral institution for just about everybody else.'' Then again, Haass is about to leave the Bush administration to become the head of the Council on Foreign Relations. He may not be leaving behind very many people who agree with him<<<<< REST AT:http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/13/magazine/13UN.html
