It will be educational to watch wether the Bush admin actually hands over some true political power to the interin government, and not just a symbolical one. For the new government to work out, they have to have vetoe powers over any military operations on the field. If the US Army decides to start another campaign like Fallujah,(wich the interin govt. members have already said they strongly disagreed with) and if they canīt have a say in what goes or not, chances are rifts will continue to appear in their relationship. Many members of the interin govt. have already expressed that they wonīt be puppets in the hands of american generals.
The same happens with the new proposed UN resolution. The US wishes the UN to step in with military forces and rebuilding funds, but yet it refuses to pass any form of control to the UN, and that simply cannot be accepted.
If the UN joins as just another smaller partner in a coalition, they would just be adding cannon fodder for the american operations.
If the US is serious about wanting to take the UN onboard, they have to give them absolute power of decision.
As it is, it just seems the US is on the lookout for any warm bodies it can find to replace their battle wery soldiers.
The US canīt have it both ways, they canīt have their cake and eat it too.
A choice has to be made.
