HOWARD N MEYER - 8/24/2003

During a year in which the principle barrier against use of force by one nation against another -- the United Nations Charter and a similar prohibition under customary International
Law forbidding such use save in legitmate self defense -- was
trashed by the United States in its war against Iraq, and made the United States more unpopular than its ever been,--(because of respect for international law throughout the "civilized world" the New York Times in its OpEd pages has avoided one word on the subject.Could no submission on that subject had enough literary merit to warrant publication? Of course not. Historians and other writers should have something to say about this, COLLECTIVELY. If interested respond via this medium
