Hans Blix apparently believes we should change the Constitution and let the world choose our president. This is obviously too important a decision to be left to Americans.

Conversely, the security of America is too important to be left to Blix and the UN.

A Kerry backer
    Hans Blix, the former Swedish diplomat and U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, has endorsed John Kerry in the U.S. presidential election.

"I place my trust in the multilateralism of Democratic candidate John Kerry," Mr. Blix told the Italian newspaper La Stampa. "And in any event, I think that the whole world should vote on 2 November because so much depends on the outcome of that vote."

The Wall Street Journal, which in an editorial yesterday noted both Mr. Blix's statement and his earlier propensity to give Saddam Hussein "the benefit of every doubt," commented:

"Mr. Kerry remarked in March that foreign leaders were privately supporting his candidacy. Mr. Blix has now revealed the kind of foreigners he was referring to."
