Making sense of the turmoil

  • Monday, 24 Nov 2003

With more bombings in Turkey and Iraq, last week was another tumultuous time for a world that has lost its compass. The multilateral system, whether in peace and security or in economic co-operation, is in tatters. Can the United States rethink its hegemonic role, or can the rest of the world sail ahead even if the captain won’t join the ship of multilateral co-operation? 

WHAT a tumultuous time for world peace and security. The bombings in Turkey, the two US helicopters brought down in Iraq, the thousands of people in London demonstrating against the visit of US President George W. Bush, and in Baghdad on Saturday two new car bombs and a missile hit on a DHL cargo plane (it landed safely).
