	The writers comments more or less explain why America has this problem
figuring out what it should be doing in the world, ya see...

	Mr. Mutlu deeply cares about, well, whatever it is that he cares
about (I certainly don't take the time to read his posts). Most of his
international readership couldn't care less. SO MUCH FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY.

	While the USA, and it would seem, only the USA has the power and
the sense of international responsibility to intervene in all these
lingering disputes which becloud the world political scene, the trick
is to get the Yanks to somehow care about your silly little dispute.

	This, of course, is why the America TV network news is crowded
these days with pictures of starving Somalians, imprisoned and starving
Croats, and so forth. The nature of the "New World Order" is to sort of
petition the rulers of America (who, after all, are the American people)
at the throne of NBC News, with Tom Brokaw and Bryant Gumbel as the
royal heralds.

	The alternative, of course, is for the rest of the world to get
its act together without our help. But it is far too easy to play both
sides of the street, loudly proclaiming one's sovereignty when the 
accounts are full of money and the troops have lots of ammo, then 
turning to the UN/US for help when one has run out of both guns and money.
