Jan Egeland's criticizm. Yes, he retracted his statement, but he was not the only one. Perhaps I'm hypersensitive, but there were numerous complaints about what we were doing and how we were doing it - not to mention being blamed for the ineffectiveness of the warning system.
>And I don't know about a "higher standard", but I do think that all Presidents except the current practised the 'with great power comes great responsibility' "doctrine".
I disagree. Otherwise, we would have gone straight into Iraq - and probably Iran - without putting our case forward first.
