To promote democracy and American interests vigorously, primarily through diplomacy Despite increasing pressure to "internationalize" the postwar reconstruction of Iraq, the Bush administration is not actively pursuing a new U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing broader international participation out of concern that greater U.N. involvement could reduce U.S. control. ..... Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz on Tuesday told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that while the administration "would welcome any resolution that would make it easier for countries to contribute peacekeeping troops," he would be "very concerned" about one that would "put limitations on what Ambassador Bremer and our people can do in Iraq." U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan said Wednesday that there was overwhelming support among world leaders for a second resolution that would broaden the international presence in Iraq. .......... The Bush administration has also declined to formally ask NATO to assume command of Iraqi peacekeeping, despite a Senate resolution passed last month 97 to 0 urging the administration to seek NATO and U.N. assistance in policing Iraq. ........
