Replacing the coalition forces in Iraq with a UN force raises concerns about security and effectiveness, as historical precedents like Rwanda and Srebrenica show that UN peacekeeping efforts have often failed to protect civilians. Critics argue that the UN lacks the military capacity to improve security in an ongoing conflict and that the insurgency would likely continue regardless of the force's branding. Humanitarian aid is currently being provided effectively by organizations like the Red Cross, and there is skepticism about whether the UN could enhance these efforts. The interim Iraqi government is set to assume power soon, and there is doubt about how a UN presence would alter the political landscape or facilitate elections. Ultimately, many believe that the US should remain in Iraq to stabilize the situation and take responsibility for rebuilding.

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"...
