When millions around the world marched to protest the Iraq
war and the U.S. drive towards empire, the New York Times
dubbed global public opinion "the second super-power." What
empowered those protests was their alliance -- if only for a
brief moment -- with governments unexpectedly willing to
stand up to U.S. pressure, and with the United Nations
itself, when it followed its Charter's command to stop "the
scourge of war." Bennis tracks the rise of U.S.
unilateralism and the doctrine of preemptive war, looking
particularly at Iraq and Israel/Palestine, and examines both
the potential and the challenges ahead in reclaiming the UN
as part of the global peace movement.
