President George W. Bush on the possibility of another League of Nations: “There is a coalition of friends that are joining us to call upon accountability — accountability with Mr. Saddam Hussein, who lies, kills his own people, poisons his own citizens with weapons of mass destruction, who hates America, hates Israel, hates our friends and allies. He must be held to account. The choice is his, and the choice is the United Nations’ to deal with this man, to hold him to account. And if they won’t, for the sake of our freedoms and our securities, we cannot allow the world’s worst leader to hold us hostage and to harm America with the world’s worst weapons. We owe it to our children.”
