SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the implications of replacing coalition forces in Iraq with a United Nations (UN) contingent. Participants highlight historical failures of UN peacekeeping in Rwanda and Srebrenica, questioning the effectiveness of a UN force in improving security and humanitarian aid in Iraq. Key points include the lack of available troops for the UN, the ongoing insurgency, and the interim government's readiness for elections. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards skepticism regarding the UN's ability to stabilize Iraq compared to the current US-led coalition.

The UN brings with it the air of International legitimacy, legal ligitimacy, as if all of the rest of the countries of the world agree, hence what's wrong with Iraq that it is against the entire planet...

The logisitics are another thing all-together...right now I don't think anyone knows with certainty what will happen after the deadline passes if the US Does pull out it's troops, civil war?? religious war?? (an oxymoron?) three new (tribally/faction based) Nation states?

Lets just hope that the killing stops...that was, after all, the reason for going to war, to stop the killing...right? cause you cannot stop the "threat of a killing"...
