Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

March Reader's Digest has an interview with Tony Blair, who expresses that the reason for going after Iraq in particular is that there are U.N. resolutions on him already, and that if they aren't enforced the U.N. becomes ineffective at dealing with other such tyrants in the future. This, incidentally, is the only coherent argument I've thought of that the U.S. is not justified in acting unilaterally but is justified with U.N. support; if it's all about U.N. resolution enforcement, it becomes appropriate that we wait until the security council has been dragged kicking and screaming into taking itself seriously.
