"And this is precisely why the Bush administration must be permitted to follow through on the second part of its program—namely, the reconstruction of Iraq. For the administration understands perfectly well that the only cure for the Arab mind's penchant for fantasy is to provide it with a real and genuine achievement—and what greater achievement could there be then an Iraq that was free and stable and prosperous? " Quickest way to fail is to let the UN back in imo. US Marshall Plan for iraq needed with the committment and resources to guaranttee that a reconstructed iraq will not fail or at least do as much as possible to prevent failure. Many nations in the UN have a dog in this fight and that dog is to guarantee iraqs failure not success. Ask the folks in syria, yemen, libya, france, germany etc etc. All have different reasons but their united goal is to prevent a US success period. US/UK must do this on their own, perhaps with nato if possible. UN should be kept out except for purely humanitarian efforts. mike
