Imperfect though the United Nations may be – and we have heard some criticisms to that effect – it is based on the very opposite of the might is right principle. Instead of ceding absolute power to one country, the United Nations encourages us to cling to the principles of collective power and collective action in the pursuit of world peace. That is so important that I am inclined to say we should rule out any solution to the Iraqi problem which is not organised through the United Nations. The United Nations is not an option in this crisis; it is an essential part of how we must work through it. If we get rid of Saddam Hussein through bypassing the United Nations, we will have dealt an enormous blow to the cause of freedom throughout the world. It might take us centuries to recover from such a blow because it is impossible to predict what might happen.
