Given the UN Security Council's dithering ways, it's good to see the Bush administration steadily building a parallel structure to deal with threats that doesn't go through the slog of Turtle Bay. Next week, the US will conduct military exercises with Turkey as part of the Proliferation Security Initiative -- a program created in 2003 to track and intercept illicit wmd trafficking by rogue nations. Who knows, in time there may even be a Genocide Prevention Initiative composed of nations that will act when the next Rwanda or Darfur rolls around.
