No. Nothing, nothing whatever, will bring as much death and destruction as will a continuing western presence in Iraq, whether that western presence is called U.N. or U.S.
I first had this argument back in the '70s over Nicaragua. A poli-sci professor who had been in Nicaragua and called himself a "marxist-leninist" argued that unless "we" helped Nicaragua there was no hope for the people there.
Same thing applies here.
Actually, I've given up arguing this. But I urge people to file this post and Yoshie's away and recheck them 5 to 10 years from now.
U.S. out of Iraq!
U.N. out of Iraq!
