(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Tuesday, September 10, 2002
Much of the imbecility found in The Corner is enitrely willful. As disgusting as the conclusions drawn by John Derbyshire and Andrew Stuttaford are, they usually seem to have been arrived at after a perfunctory survey of the known facts. We never get that impression when reading Kathryn Jean Lopez. Today Ms. Lopez twists her knickers into a proper Gordian Knot over Nelson Mandela's worry over America's willingness to act without the approval of the fellow constituents of the UN Security Council. After Mandea notes that "France, Germany, Russia, China are against" America's unilateralism, Lopez writes, "China? Russia? Actually, maybe we should consult human-rights man Khaddaffi in all war-on-terror strategy, too, before we act." Or maybe "we" should first acquaint ourselves with the permanent membership of the Security Council. posted by Anonymous5:20 PM
