 Before and After: US Foreign Policy and the September 11th Crisis.

 Despite the urging of some U.N. and U.S. officials for Washington to enter the race for membership on the new Human Rights Council, it is absolutely appropriate for the United States to remain absent.

 I can only assume that her real job is to play on her publicly close ties to George W. Bush in the hope that anybody she wants to meet with will [do so] because she has the President's ear.

 I hope that things can change in a way that will make it possible to cure the children that are now facing the result of this war and prevent further generations of children from facing the same thing.

 It was inevitably going to take someone from Harvard [to get this discussed].

 So far, the Democrats have been cowardly and unwilling to speak out. They need to do so if they want to reap the political benefits of Bush's unpopularity.

 Talking nice to the Saudi or Egyptian governments, [which] are themselves the target of a huge amount of rage ... is not going to get Hughes very far. If the US changed its policies, then her work of selling US policy [would become] much easier.

 That was foreseen by many of us 10 years ago when the issue popped up, and again in 2004-2005 when the question returned to the top of the U.N.'s agenda.

 The recent attacks on the secretary-general, easier to attack than the institution as a whole, have little to do with the actual (and quite limited) instances of corrupt activities in the secretariat, and everything to do with Annan's statement that the U.S. war in Iraq was illegal and the organisation's refusal to endorse the U.S.-UK invasion, ... Calling the Shots: How Washington Dominates Today's U.N.

 The United Nations is based on principles, embodied in the U.N. Charter, that require its leadership, especially the secretary-general, to stand and defend its principles against those trying to force the United Nations to become part of illegal wars, to endorse illegal occupations, or to ignore looming genocides,

 This war has brought nothing but death and destruction to Iraq. Bringing the troops home is a first step to ending the war.

 Those of us speaking about it sort of routinely referred to the protection of Israel as a component. But this is a very good piece of evidence of that.

 We're seeing rapid changes in public opinion in favor of ending the war and bringing back the troops and it's beginning to be reflected in Congress.

 Whether the proposed constitution is approved or rejected . . . it is a process and a text largely crafted and imposed by U.S. occupation authorities and their Iraqi dependents, and thus lacking in legal or political legitimacy.

 With the exception of the usual additions of two tiny dependent island-states, the United States and Israel stand alone in defying virtually the entire world's support for the new Human Rights Council.
