QUOTE: Jeff Jarvis has an interesting point which I direct Dara's way (not that you'd endorse the argument Jarvis is refuting, but it seems to fall nicely in your UN things-to-think-about area):
"Fourth, by this same logic, no one should ever support us and we should support no one. The U.N. is pretty much useless now but you might as well shut it down completely and turn it into condos, because any nation that supports another when it is attacked is a damned fool. So no one should have supported us after 9/11 and we should have not supported Kuwait or the people of the former Yugoslavia. That's clearly unacceptable."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
