>> I'm just wary of permitting the UN to play too large of a role except humanitarian assistance Hawk, Yeah, there's nothing like a UN committee to really f*up what at best will be very chaotic. Now that order is completely collapsed, my feeling is that only a no-nonsense strong-man rule can work for a few months. Now the hard part. With all the looting, are US soldiers going to fire on the looters ? Will they allow armed police to restore order ? Or will they just let the looting continue ? Each of these options is very dangerous. Whoever is appointed to that job, I wish him wisdom and luck. Sarmad
