To the Editor:
  When the U.S. joined the United Nations, we endorsed the UN's call for National Self-determination of Peoples. That applies to Palestinians and Chechens and Tibetans as surely as it applies to Jews and Algerians and Danes.  If the U.S. is no longer a beacon of liberty, but rather the global enforcer of the status quo, we should re-evaluate our participation in the U.N.
