<<it is not clear that we control much of anything at this point. >>> This is the toughest point. The new government and the US realize they will not have anything workable if the revolutionaries are permitted to continue. Businesses are ready to go to work and expand. It will sink into the minds of the Counsel that the attacks must be ended. The main item is to get the police force trained and neighbors will point out the bad guys.Our military will stay to strike them hard when needed.The UN can provide little or no help in that job. They seem to have made great progress in guarding the electric and water systems, and perhaps the piplines also. A big problem is all that ammo Saddam left laying around- 800,000 tons in over 100 sites. Not enough people too guard them. And why not destroy it? Is it worth anything You can be sure the assigned Counsel members, like the temporary Defense Minister is feeling the heat on how to handle the situation. And if he fails, he will be replaced at US request. All is experiment at this stage, do or die, and the US is there to make sure it gets done because the UN would be worthless with members acting to line up contracts for their countries. Sig
