The fear is not a hypothetical one: The U.S.-appointed Governing Council embarrassed and angered the U.S. by publicly lobbying to assume sovereignty this summer as Iraq's next rulers. Thanks for the reference. Sounds good to me. Considering the Iraqi's have never governed themselves they need a baby-sitter until the situation levels out. Since the UN is involved in the transition it is possible, if not probable, they have approved this move. There is already a terrible power struggle between the clerics(Sadr, etc.) attempting to turn Iraq into a theocratic nation. That situation, which Iran wants, cannot be tolerated by civilized nations. KM
