John Howard Rocks
The more I hear Australian Prime Minister John Howard talk, the more I want to thank our Australian brothers for putting him in office.
Australia will always reserve the right to act without United Nations approval if it sees the need for another “coalition of the willing” action such as the invasion of Iraq, Prime Minister John Howard says. …Mr Howard cited the case of Kosovo when foreign forces intervened to stop ethnic cleansing in Serbia without a UN Security Council resolution authorising the action.
“Quite plainly, the UN, because of its institutional structure, wasn’t going to be able to authorise certain things being done which clearly were required to be done,” he said.
“I’m not anti-United Nations, I’m just anti a belief that only the United Nations can deal with issues, because plainly there are circumstances where it can’t because of its structure and because of the need to have a political consensus.”
