Vaclav Havel for U.N. Boss? Think again.
Vaclav Havel for U.N. Secretary-General? That's what Glenn Harlan Reynolds suggested in the Wall Street Journal. One problem is that former Czech President Havel is very, very close to George Soros - in fact, Havel has a debt to Soros. Indeed, in a January 10, 1997 speech, Soros bragged that, "I am proud to have been a supporter of Charter 77 from the outside since 1980 and I had the pleasure of hearing the then prime minister, Marian Calfa, tell me in December 1989 that the regime had lost its legitimacy and he was determined to hand over power to Vaclav Havel." Richard Poe, who has written extensively on Soros, goes so far as to charge that Soros bankrolled the "coup" that put Havel in the presidency. Soros and Havel also appeared together at the October 16, 2001, 10th annual global anticorruption conference, organized in part by Transparency International (TI). A former board member of TI, Luis Moreno Ocampo, is the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
Havel supported the war on Yugoslavia, launched by Bill Clinton, without the support or authorization of Congress.It was an unprovoked attack on a sovereign country because of a conflict in one of its provinces. It was waged on behalf of Muslims against Serbs. Havel called the war "an important precedent for the future" in which "state sovereignty must inevitably dissolve." Havel gave a speech on the subject under the title, "Kosovo and the End of the Nation-State."
Adam Wolfson, in Policy Review (published at the time by the Heritage Foundation), commented, "It was Havel who most fully developed, at least at the level of theory, the humanitarian case for the war in Kosovo. In an April 29 address to the Canadian parliament, later published in the New York Review of Books, Havel announced the death of the nation-state and the birth of a 'new world.' It is a world, he explained, in which people are brought closer together by the forces of commerce and the information revolution; a world in which, as a result of 'the enormous advances in science and technology, our individual destinies are merging into a single destiny.'"
Wolfson commented, "The emotional fulfillment that humans once found in loyalty to the state, in patriotism, devolves downward to smaller units like communities and companies and upwards towards transnational organizations like the United Nations. Havel envisions a big role for the United Nations..."
Why would conservatives be supporting Havel for U.N. Boss?
