[ Presenting plain-text part of multi-format email ] http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,918812,00.html Thank God for the death of the UN Its abject failure gave us only anarchy. The world needs order by Richard Perle Friday March 21, 2003 Saddam Hussein's reign of terror is about to end. He will go quickly, but not alone: in a parting irony, he will take the UN down with him. Well, not the whole UN. The "good works" part will survive, the low-risk peacekeeping bureaucracies will remain, the chatterbox on the Hudson will continue to bleat. What will die is the fantasy of the UN as the foundation of a new world order. As we sift the debris, it will be important to preserve, the better to understand, the intellectual wreckage of the liberal conceit of safety through international law administered by international institutions.
