Giving control to the UN probably makes civil war in Iraq more likely.

Giving control to the UN gives the Iraqis a chance to avoid civil war

Lessee here.. The UN headquarters suffers a devastating bombing AFTER ignoring US offers to provide protection for them, and they high-tail it out of Baghdad for the safety (and beaches) of Cyprus??

So all Al-Qaeda, or any other militant faction, has to do is target them again and they'll be able to finally light the fuse on that civil war they've been desiring..

Viable alternatives GST... I requested viable alternatives, grounded in credibility and logic..

And to whom is the UN accountable? The US voter? US taxpayers?

Should we just place the American military at the disposal of the UN from now on?
