The Stakes in Darfur (washingtonpost.com)

The Stakes in Darfur (washingtonpost.com): "value the principle of sovereignty more highly than the human purpose that sovereignty is meant to serve: a stable international order that allows people to live in peace."

I agree. Sovereignty is a means to an end, not something that ought to be glorified in itself. I would like to think more about this idea and its limits especially relating to circumstances such as Iraq.
