ah <<The Brits have both UN authorization (SECURITY COUNCIL EXTENDS MANDATE OF MULTINATIONAL FORCE IN IRAQ UNTIL 31 DECEMBER 2007, UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTING RESOLUTION 1723 (2006))
and approval of an elected Iraqi government. No government can have a stronger basis than elections. Don't belittle democratic governance till you've tried it.>>

... then it is best that the British stay and finish the mission then, instead of turning tail.

I believe that authorization was done after the fact of the invasion, when no one else will take the responsibility of cleaning up after the coalition of the now less than willing.

As to belittling governance, I make fun of all varieties, as long as folks actually believe in them without question, especially when any such governance can enable the systematic killing of innocents and encourage the methodical use of torture.
