Australia asked the United Nations on Friday to take a bigger role in Iraq, particularly in helping to quell sectarian violence. Foreign Minister Alexander Downer made the request over lunch with new U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in New York, echoing a call this week by President Bush for an increased U.N. presence in Iraq. "We would like to see the United Nations become more active than it already is and would like to see the United Nations perhaps working to take some sort of initiative to assist with the process of reconciliation over and above what it's already doing," Downer told reporters. Well, the UN is a bunch of mostly helpful guys trying to do the best they can, so they will try their best to help. Why the heck should the UN help now, when it was the US (and its lackeys, Poodle Blair and Australia) that kicked out the inspectors in 2003? I would prefer that the UN Secy Genl show the middle finger to the US and Australia, and tell them to go eff themselves!
