One real question I have is, has anybody asked the Iraqis their opinion of UN involvement? Do the Iraqis even want the UN?

After all, consider what part the UN has played in Iraq to date. First they cooperated with Saddam in the oil for food program, which means that they took half off the top for Saddam and left the Iraqis to starve. Then they did their damndest to prevent the ouster of Saddam. Then, after the war, they ran like rabbits as soon as they were bombed. The Iraqis don't have that option.

So, has anybody in the crowd touting "UN legitimacy" bothered to ask the Iraqis their opinion on the matter?
