Howard Meyer: Outcome of Election
To the Editor, N Y Times:
The election return was not a disappointment to those who believe in Law and Order globally. International law could not win. When asked about legality of limiting Iraq reconstruction contracts to "coalition" states, the President said: "International Law? I better call my lawyer. He didn't bring that up to me."
When asked about Secretary General Annan's view that the invasion of Iraq was illegal, Senator Kerry said "I don't know what the law or legalities are."
No contest.
