Nadine, you obviously have missed the word reconstituted, which I've used so many times I thought people must be sick of it. But yet you don't get it. <why do you sound like you're for the UN taking over Iraq?> The US Military isn't in firm charge of Iraq. The British are in firm charge of part of it. I think the USA, Britain and Oz should stay in charge until they have sold enough oil to pay for their military operations and compensated their casualties and their families and the Iraqi civilian casualties. Repairing some of the damage using oil money and USA/British/Oz companies or Spain's or Bulgaria's etc would also be a good idea. They should also stay in charge until the UN is reconstituted and Iraq is settled into their new regime. There's no point in wasting money on UN weapons inspectors now, except that if some evidence of some are found, the UN could be called in, which would give credibility rather than announcing via the disbanded USA Office of Disinformation that the Yeti has been found under Saddam's bed. Actually, relegating France is a minor part of the reasons for a UN reconstitution. Until the UN is representative of We the People, rather than some horrible little dump like Sierra Leone, or Cuba, or Chad, having a hanging-chad over the UN electoral process, there's no point in putting them in charge of much at all, other than some of the more benign aspects of international relations such as spectrum allocation, food aid, disease control and the like.
