The UN running Iraq would produce a civil war for sure in no time at all. Civil war is a long-term risk for Iraq, anyway, particularly once American troops leave. But it would become a certainty with the UN in charge. UN troops have a particularly bad track record - Srbenica, Rwanda, Congo. With UN troops in Iraq, the Return (Saddam to power) movement which is attacking our troops would come out in the open and begin killing, threatening and intimidating Iraqis just as the former govt did. The Kurds and Shiites would re-activate and create new militias to fight them. It would be a disaster.
