"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

Anne Bayefsky on Iran & United Nations on National Review Online

Anne Bayefsky on Iran & United Nations on National Review Online: "Security Council first round: Iran 1; nuclear-war opponents 0."

I know I'm not the only one tweaked/concerned/pissed about this one. The U.S. angle of agreeing to discussions "ostensibly on Iraq" with Iran had not occurred to me as being one of the nails in the coffin.

Stuff from yesterday here and here.
