Although, the Clinton policy is vulnerable to criticism for not being clear in some way's, but the United States as it did in the past that encouraging the intervention of United Nations is always the spirit of U.S..

--- A civil war, separatist movement, ethnic clash rises to a level of violence
sufficient to grab world attention.
--- The conflict is not occurring with in the territory or immediate vicinity of
either the former Soviet Union or China.
--- Military experts conclude that a small application of force with minimal risk
of casualties could have a major effect in reducing the violence.
--- There is agreement among allies that the United States will not have to take
on the challenge alone.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 22 ---
U.S. President Bill Clinton said Tuesday the United Nations and its members should do more to end atrocities whenever they break out in the world, but cautioned that the response must be realistic and appropriate.

"We cannot do everything, everywhere," Clinton told the General Assembly. "But just because we have different interests in different parts of the world does not mean we can be indifferent to the destruction of innocents in any part of the world."

Sometimes, economic and political pressure combined with diplomacy is the answer, Clinton said. Other times, military intervention is required, such as in the case of Kosovo, when NATO took action to stop the Serb crackdown on ethnic Albanians.

"When we are faced with deliberate organized campaigns to murder whole people or expel them from the land, the care of the victims is important but not enough," the president said. "We should work to end the violence."

"My country will keep working with our partners and the U.N. to ensure such forces can deploy rapidly when they are needed," Clinton added.

Clinton's comments echoed many of the opening day speeches of the assembly's annual debate, which focused heavily on the theme of humanitarian intervention --- in Kosovo, East Timor and Africa.

In his speech, Clinton also urged that in the next millenium, children around the world would be protected from the use of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.

While still awaiting Russian ratification of the START II treaty, the United States and Russia are beginning talks on a START III treaty that would cut their nuclear arsenals by 80 percent of their Cold War height, Clinton said.

"Now we must work to deny weapons of mass destruction to those who might use them," Clinton said, referring to the decade-long effort to rid Iraq of its deadly weapons.

While the suffering of the Iraqi people must be eased, the world cannot stand by and allow the Iraqi regime to flout U.N. resolutions and rebuild its arsenal, Clinton said.

Clinton opened his address to the 188-member assembly by urging the United Nations and its members to wage an "unrelenting battle" against poverty and for shared prosperity "so that no part of humanity is left behind in the global economy."

"We must refuse to accept a future in which one part of humanity lives at the cutting edge of a new economy, while another lives at the edge of survival," he said.

Clinton decided to skip the first day of the General Assembly on Monday out of deference to the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur.

Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori opened the second day of the debate on Tuesday by warning that an alliance of drug traffickers and terrorists was threatening the new tranquility spawned by the 1998 peace agreement between Ecuador and Peru.

"These criminal activities have achieved in some cases a power that is vast enough to challenge governments, aside from disturbing the world economy, since illegal drug money may have infiltrated productive, commercial and even political activities," he said.

"Both internal as well as external peace are essential for the coming of the new era that we are promoting," he said.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept, 20 ---
With the deployment of multinational peacekeepers in East Timor as a backdrop, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan urged world leaders gathering in New York on Monday to be more ready to intervene in strife-torn regions.

In an opening-day address to the U.N. General Assembly's annual debate --- two weeks of speeches by heads of state, ministers and a crown prince --- Annan spoke of the need to protect and promote "human security" in the coming century.

Annan has made it clear that the main challenge facing the United Nations is its role in protecting civilians, who are more and more often the targets of warring parties.

And to do that, Annan said, the United Nations and the Security Council must be willing take action, even when individual nations' interests are not at stake.

"A global era requires global engagement," Annan told the assembly. "Indeed, in a growing number of challenges facing humanity, the collective interest is the national interest."

He contrasted the inability of the council to find a common strategy in Kosovo with its unanimous and quick vote last week to approve a peace keeping force for East Timor as evidence of an apparent growing willingness to intervene when innocent lives are at stake.

Such decisive action should deter those who may be thinking of waging new wars, he said.

"If states bent on criminal behavior know that frontiers are not the absolute defense; if they know that the Security Council will take action to halt crimes against humanity, then they will not embark on such course of action in expectation of sovereign impunity," he said.

The first wave of Australian-led peacekeepers deployed Monday in East Timor's capital, Dili, to impose order after a rampage by anti-independence militiamen, though to have left hundreds dead.

With Kosovo, Congo and East Timor certainly on the minds of many of the more than 185 leaders lined up to speak, the theme of humanitarian intervention is sure to figure prominently in the addresses over the next two weeks.

South African President Thabo Mbeki, French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen were scheduled to be among the first to take the podium Monday. President Bill Clinton decided to skip his usual opening-day speech because Monday is the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur.

North Korea again his bullied the United States into making concessions with military threats, agreeing not to test long-range missiles in return for an easing of U.S. sanctions. Critics of the deal say, President Bill Clinton agree Friday (Sept. 17, 1999) to permit trade in commercial and consumer gods and he eased restrictions on trade with and investment in North Korea. He also eliminated prohibitions on direct personal and commercial financial transactions.

Bans on travel were lifted, Clinton took the steps in exchange for Pyongyang's agreement not to test missiles capable of reaching Alaska or Hawaii.

"I'm filled with admiration for their (the North Koreans') negotiating style," says Robert Oakley, a retired diplomat who once headed the state department's counter terrorism office, "they threaten us and we keep paying them off."

Return to communist China's history, China's leaders inherited both Mao's fear of American bullying and his strategic desire for friends in Washington. Many Chinese are infatuated with American cultural icons, from McDonald's to Marilyn Monroe. And like Mao, perhaps, even today's leaders still see in America the seed of something they can admire.

1959, China invades Tibet. The Dalai Lama flees to India.
1966-76, a power struggle between Mao and other party members leads to the cultural revolution.
1967, China detonate its first H-bomb.
1972, Nixon visits Beijing.

"I will develop an atomic bomb. Nobody should try to restrict us." "An exploratory balloon to touch the nerves of America." Mao pointedly stood shoulder to shoulder with snow on Tiananmen for the parade, and told the author that he was willing to invite Nixon to meet him in Beijing.

It certainly matters that China is the only country whose nuclear weapons target the United States. It also matters that Chinese military exercises simulate attacks on U.S. troops, South Korea and Japan, but the fact that a country can directly threaten the United States is not normally taken as a reason to be anything except robust in defending U.S. interests.

Communist China has engaged in though economic reforms and gives its people the ability to stand up tall in the world.

It is certainly not a reason to pretend that China is a strategic partner. Unfortunately, the United States and China have no important common focus on strategic interests.

DILI, Indonesia, Sept. 20 ---
The international peace force assigned to bring order to East Timor's murderous chaos landed without resistance Monday, effectively making the end of Indonesia's control after 24 turbulent years.

Armored personnel carries rolled from the bellies of Hercules transport planes and clattered down the rubbish-strewn streets of Dili, as Timoreses refugees in tattered clothes watched in amazement.

In wave after wave, the hulking transport plans airlifted more than 1,000 soldiers from northern Australia and tons of ammunition, explosives, land mines and supplies.

The troops arrived at a city abandoned by its people and left in smoking ruins, with no food, no electricity, no clean water and thousands of desperate refugees trying to get out.

The airlift was to continue through the night, and by daybreak Tuesday operation commanders said they hoped to have 2,3000 troops on the ground.

"It's been quite an encouraging day. Everything's gone very smoothly," said Duncan Lewis, the Australian military spokesman in Canberra.

Despite threats to attack the international force, there was no sign of the militias, and the Indonesian martial law authorities were helpful.

But as they moved through town, the troops could see black smoke from fresh fires billowed over the city and, in the evening, the glow of flames in the countryside.

The real test for the 7,5000-man force will come when it spreads into remote areas to protect a still terrified populace. It was still unclear whether the militias would fade away or transform themselves into guerrilla fighters sniping and harassing the unwanted foreigners.

The arrival of the force just five days after it was authorized by the U.N. Security Council spelled the beginning of the end of Indonesian rule on the half-island that voted 4-to-1 for independence in an Aug. 30 referendum.

Pro-Indonesian militias, with the connivance of the security forces, rejected the vote and launched a campaign of arson, terror and murder, driving out tens of thousands of people to West Timor in hopes of nullifying the ballot.

"There is a lot of destruction," said Australian Maj. Chip Henriss Andersen. But some residents emerged into the streets to gawk. Some shook hands with the troops and smiled.

"A lot of people were saying 'Hello Mister,' probably their only English," said Henriss-Andersen, a naturalized Australian born in Cleveland, Ohio. "I think pretty soon we'll have them saying 'G'day.'"

The intense air operation deprived the United Nations of the planes it was using to drop of food to starving refugees in East Timor's mountains.

"There's a massive amount of relief ready to go," said David Wimhurst, spokesman for the U.N. Mission to East Timor, or UNAMET. "The question is getting it in as soon as possible."

In a report made available Monday, the United Nations Children's Fund estimated 190,000 to 300,000 refuges were hiding in East Timor, in addition to 141,000 who fled to West Timor. Estimates from other agencies were higher.

Globalization is the most contentious subject expected to come up during a special two-day session on Sept. 27 and 28 on the problems facing small island (East Timor) developing state. Calls for the prosecution of those guilty of crimes against humanity in East Timor have amplified argument in favor of a permanent international criminal court.

We are grateful to learn that the U.S. and Japanese governments have decided to dispatch personnel to assist in disaster relief. It is a good lessons for Taiwanese people to learn that today's world has become a global village. People around the world should help each other, particularly on humanitarian. As members of the international community, we also have the obligation to create a better world and to assist those who are suffering from calamities of all types, including civil wars famines and racial hatred such as people in Kosovo, East Timor, Angola, Rwanda and the Kurds. We also need to help ourselves.
