While I don't agree with the overall view, it's hard to argue with We rather doubt that a U.N. endorsement is going to yield enough troops or money to justify the division of responsibility that inevitably will be the price of such a deal. Neither the French nor the Germans are going to send divisions of their finest troops — if they still have any such divisions. Nor, to be honest, do we see the efficacy of sending India's formidable Hindu troops into the Islamic cauldron of Iraq. Likewise, Turkey's sometimes lethal relations with the Kurds make their troops' presence in Iraq of dubious long-term value. And while we strongly encourage the fastest possible raising of a loyal and well-trained Iraqi military, that process will take years, not weeks or months. from washingtontimes.com lurqer
