Walker's World: Don't over-reform the U.N.
By Martin Walker
UPI Editor
Published December 1, 2004

WASHINGTON -- This is sad. Kofi Annan convenes a grand council of the great and the good of international diplomacy and asks them to come up with a new charter that re-invents the United Nations. The U.N. secretary-general's exact words were to draft "a broad framework for collective security for the new millennium."

The team of international civil servants and luminaries does exactly that. Figures of the experience and eminence of Brent Scowcroft, national security adviser of the first Bush presidency, former Russian foreign minister Yevgeny Primakov, former Chinese foreign minister Qian Qichen and Britain's veteran Ambassador to the U.N. Sir David Hannay all invest time and work in the collective effort.

And yet when the document is unveiled, it fails to make the front pages of the electronic age, the BBC News website, or the "Top Stories" of the Google News website. The web pages of the Washington Post, Britain's Daily Telegraph and France's Le Monde carried no reference to it by 6 p.m. Tuesday, although the New York Times website - to its credit - managed a thorough report. The others followed, rather shamefacedly, somewhat later, once they realized its importance.

....


Funny that Tom Ridge would scoop the front page on such an important day with a resignation making no mention whatsoever of such an "important" document.

And so it goes ...

If I told you George H. Bush had been published as agreeing that "the gravest threat to humanity is human reproduction" and enthusiastically promoting the technology and the government "education" necessary to get folks to demand as "rights" the tools of population control and eugenics ... would you think I was kook?


If I showed you the pages from the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD wherein I got that information, would you change your mind?

When finally you realize that abortion is a GOP policy, lots of kooky stuff starts to make sense ... not the least of which is how it is the Pubbies manage always to "sell us out" by reserving for themselves the really critical decision ... like PNTR for China, passage of the Patriot Acts, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Campaign Finance Reform, the Omnibus Transporation bill that brought us "seatbelt checks", "No Child Left Behind," biometic National IDs and this week's utterly chilling Security legislation just for starters.
