Although Martin Amis appears to suffer the occasional asphyxiating spasm, and has been reported as saying that it is all happening in America, at least he lives here---albeit, one suspects, as something of a spiritual emigre.
Clint Smoker and his fellow Nibelungs of the press would be Amis fans to a man and, to the extent of their capacities, recyclers of his style.
The mature Amis is not untouched by the circumambient pietism.
AMIS was transformed from a contingent primarily of unarmed military observers to a major operation that included armed force protectors, unarmed civilian police, and support teams.
By then the military mandate of AMIS was essentially four-fold: to monitor and observe compliance with the ceasefire agreement; to assist in confidence building measures; to contribute to a secure environment by facilitating humanitarian assistance and returns of internally displaced persons; and to contribute to overall security.
The possibility of placing the AMIS operation under U.N. authority is one option under serious consideration, primarily for financial reasons, and at this writing it is reported to be on the agenda of African Union summit meeting in Khartoum, Sudan, on January 23-24, 2006.
