...America’s academic campuses (Op-ed, “A Conservative America,” Jan. 22). McGeary cannot distinguish between conservatives of different eras. Why is this important? Because conservatives of different eras conserve different things. Conservatives of the 1700’s were anti-gun rights and pro-monarchy. Conservatives of the early 1900’s were conserving racial disparity. But many conservatives of today are former liberals of the civil rights era. Why? They are conserving the lack of racial preferences conserved in the Constitution...
...Rather than "smoking gun" evidence of Iraqi weapons programs, the U.S. and Britain have insisted in recent weeks that UN resolutions place the onus on Saddam Hussein to prove he has disarmed, and chief inspector Dr. Hans Blix this week testified that Iraq has thus far failed on this front. The case becomes even stronger if the U.S. can show proof of an Iraqi effort to stymie the inspection process, because the argument for giving inspections more time is premised on the idea of Iraqi cooperation. It will become increasingly difficult for reluctant Council members to argue against military action...
After weeks of dampening expectations for "smoking gun" evidence against Iraq, the Bush administration is now teeing up an "Adlai Stevenson moment." That's diplomat-speak for the instant in which a U.S. official trumps all naysayers at the United Nations by hauling out graphic, incontrovertible evidence that its enemy is lying. Stevenson, as President John F. Kennedy's UN ambassador in 1962, slam-dunked the Soviets during a heated Security Council debate by producing satellite photographs that disproved Moscow's denials that missiles had been stationed in Cuba. Secretary of State Colin Powell hopes to produce a similar effect...
...MURDERED. LI HAICANG, 47, Chinese steel tycoon ranked by Forbes magazine as China's 27th-richest person in 2002, by a man who shot Li in the head before turning the gun on himself; in Yuncheng, Shanxi province. The alleged killer, failed businessman Feng Yinliang, was reportedly trying to persuade Li to purchase his factory's land...
...Short of finding a smoking gun, Blix's report couldn't have been better for U.S. efforts to win international consent for military action against Iraq. France, Germany, Russia and China remain unconvinced by U.S. allegations that Iraq represents an imminent danger, and oppose military action right now, insisting instead that the inspection process be given more time. Britain backs the U.S. position but the skepticism of the British electorate requires that Washington seek UN authorization for an attack. Iraq's Arab and Turkish neighbors oppose a war, but have resigned themselves to its inevitability and have put the onus...
