What a great article and great set of comments from an unexpected source - make sure you read the whole article. My guess is that his experience as Carter's UN Ambassador let him understand what this sort of dissembly and diplomatic vacillation was all about.

I hope so. Almost as good would be dismantling the U.N. altogether.
I like that Young said ''we'' instead of ''this administration'' etc.

Believe it or not as much as we want to deny it there are varying shades of Dim. Andy is at the opposite end of the spectrum from Dazhole and Hitlery and the like. But I think the story is a fake (Kidding).

The former ambassador said he didn't think the rift on the Security Council -- and criticism that the United Nations is failing to enforce its resolutions against Iraq -- would undermine the institution.
Wanna bet? And no that's necessarily a good thing.

Interesting how quickly a bandwagon loads up once the parade starts.

Kudos to Andrew Young for learning from past mistakes (unlike his former boss), but I need to read more about Young's ideas to find out if he's a true stalwart yet. He still sounds timid to me, but that could have been due to his audience.
Here's a collection of reports (which may include the one cited in this article) for any of us to read if we have time: NSSG papers, etc...
There's also some stale backlash to the 14 member commitee's response, of a familiar type.
