...threshold argument is as compelling as tapioca: it exists. You can't just quit. Everyone belongs, which was not true of the League of Nations. It is where you go to make a formal argument to the world - as Adlai Stevenson did during the Cuban missile crisis, and as Colin Powell tried to do last month. It's nice to have a place like that; on rare occasions, the unofficial discussions among countries can yield some benign results. And on the rarest occasions - the first Gulf War; Afghanistan - there may even be enough consensus for a resolution supporting...
...work goes to American companies." True, that's fair in the U.S., where the relief agency USAID requires contracts to go to U.S. groups; but British firms must vie for British aid money with foreign competitors.

But there have been visible divisions...
...true that Colin Powell was allowed to be diplomatic at the U.N. last fall, negotiating a unanimous vote on Security Council Resolution 1441, but that was an exception. Powell's bolder attempts at diplomacy - the attempt to negotiate with North Korea in 2001 and with Yasser Arafat in 2002 - have been thwarted by the White House. Arrogance has filled the vacuum. Significant allies like Turkey are bullied or bribed, or both; they are not consulted and not listened to. Even when the President says he wants to achieve a diplomatic solution, as in North Korea, he does so undiplomatically, against...
