"Dying for the UN"

Following up on Larry F's excellent post below "Commander - in - Chief Kerry?" comes this illuminating quote from William Kristol's column in The Weekly Standard:

Kerry's belief in working with allies runs so deep that he has maintained that the loss of American life can be better justified if it occurs in the course of a mission with international support. In 1994, discussing the possibility of U.S. troops being killed in Bosnia, he said, "If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations effort, yes, it is worth that. If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally no."

I guess this is what he meant by a "Global Test". And this is the UN that dithers while thousands die. We're going to put our security in their hands? I think not.
