IT was a very different President Bush who spoke at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday afternoon from the one who had appeared at the same forum in the two previous years. Although the fundamentals of his message had not changed the tone of voice was noticeably less aggressive and assertive. There were no references to the risk of the UN becoming irrelevant if it did not see things as America did. Although he defended the US/UK invasion of Iraq he sought to emphasize what more could be achieved if other member states of the UN would assist the effort to restore Iraq to stability and establish democracy there. His closing words were that each state alone could do only so much, but Together we could do so much more.
