...worst product of this monster political correctness is the perception that political correctness is no more than ethnic self-affirmation a la Stuart Smalley. Assuming, for example, that minority literature only appeals to minorities comes perilously close to placing the burden of multiculturalism on the minority. Assuming that whites aren't involved--or aren't interested in becoming involved--in building America's multiracial, multiethnic democracy means going back to seeing racism as "That Black Problem" or Yellow Peril as "That Asian Problem." Strained relations between members of our American community are everyone's problem...
...Even the standing ovation was a double-edged sword," says TIME U.N. reporter Stuart Sogel. "On the one hand, it was a token of support for him as a person.

"The fact that his letter of resignation was released to the media by Richard Butler even before it went to the Security Council suggests that Butler may concur with some of its sentiments." Despite Ritter's principled protest, the tide of realpolitik may have turned against him -- Kofi Annan's call for a "comprehensive review" of the UNSCOM-Iraq relationship reflects an emerging consensus...
...team from conducting inspections. The big question now is whether Baghdad will play ball with Kofi Annan. "The February agreement that averted a military confrontation specified that the Secretary General would be the final mediator in disputes between Baghdad and the U.N. weapons inspection team," explains TIME reporter Stuart Stogel. "If Iraq refuses to abide by Kofi's ruling in the matter, we'll be back in a crisis situation...
