Jacob, do you really buy what the U.N. is selling ?

First, in their words, they deemed this entire liberation "illegitimate".

Now, in reconstruction ( i.e. $$$$$$$$$$ ) they now want to give reconstruction, in their words, "legitimacy".

Now, how does one make legitimate what they have deemed illegitimate ? This must be French logic !

Everyone is so quick to tell Iraq what will be done with and to them ....

From what I've read, the people of Iraq don't want the U.N. involved .... they feel betrayed for decades by the U. N. ... well, because they were.

The U.N. forced itself into this corner when it let itself fall into the grasp of the French.

Time will show that it is not just the U.S. who will realize that the U.N. has outlived its' usefulness as anything other than an international humanitarian charity. It has been exposed for what it is and the whole world sees it.
