| 04/05/2003, It seems such a short time ago that Helen Clark and her colleagues in
the New Zealand Labour Government were being widely praised for their
bold stand against the US-led invasion of Iraq. Only last month, New
Zealand’s ambassador to the UN was condemning the rush to abandon
diplomacy in favour of military action as a means of dealing with Saddam
Hussein’s alleged weapons of mass destruction. The ambassador stated
that New Zealand would not be a party to any intervention that did not
have the explicit backing of the UN Security Council.
