"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

U.N. pushes up plan for Darfur force

According to CNN:

The resolution, passed unanimously, also threatens "strong and effective measures" -- diplomatic language for sanctions -- against anyone who stands in the way of a May 5 peace agreement signed by the Sudanese government and Darfur's main rebel group.
So? What's the big deal? It's the UN.
