I am a South Jersey Friend and dad with a love out of outreach and a passion for looking afresh at Friends' testimonies, language and practices. I am the publisher of Quaker Quaker, a community site for Friends, and write about online publicity, organizing and design on my business site at MartinKelley.com.
Bulldozing the U.N.
President Bush has nominated a foe of the United Nations to be its U.S. ambassador. Ten years ago he declared: "There's no such thing as the United Nations," and went on to say "If the U.N. secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference." This is a fellow who called his role in withdrawling the U.S. signature on the treaty ratifying the International Criminal Court the happiest moment of my government service. The Guardian reports that fought arms control agreements, a strengthening of the biological weapons convention and the comprehensive test ban treaty. With his nomination, the Bush Administration continues its course of unilaterialism and open contempt for the world community. Not a good way to build a last peace.
