Singapore's Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong delivers the keynote address
to the annual Asia Society dinner in Washington May 7, 2003. Goh said
that in the wake of the Iraq war, America has claimed preeminence in
world affairs and that because some Security Council members like
France and Germany did not join the coalition, the UN is a cause for
concern as an influential institution. REUTERS/Mike Theiler
