"At each stage, good men said wait; the evil is not big enough to challenge," I hope you read more thatn the headline of the article you posted. There was some pretty powerful stuff in there" British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw compared the current U.N. approach to Iraq to the inactivity of world powers between the wars that led to the rise of Hitler and World War II. Straw said the United Nations' predecessor, the League of Nations, "had the same high ideals as the U.N." but failed to take action. As a result, "small evils went unchecked, tyrants were emboldened, then greater evils were unleashed." The League of Nations was founded in 1919 in the wake of World War I, but was disbanded in 1939, having failed to prevent World War II. "At each stage, good men said wait; the evil is not big enough to challenge," Straw went on. "Then before our eyes the evil became too big to challenge. ... We owe it to our history as well as to our future not to make the same mistake again."
