Dangerous Precedent :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Barry Black (United States), Mar 29, 2011 at 13:14

With the wording of the resolution, this is the first time that the UN has sanctioned regime change. A dangerous precedent indeed for now international coalitions with UN backing can now take sides in a rebellion. While Frank Gaffney, Jr. is a little over the top in his conjecture I can see in the future where a no-fly zone could be declared over Gaza.
