Iraq Attacks Complicate UN Roll Plans
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3407265.stm

<snip>
It is possible that the bomb was set off on the day preceding important talks at the UN in New York precisely to deter the UN from taking up a more significant role. It reminds the world in any case that the resistance continues.

A senior British official said in London recently that he doubted whether the UN wanted to get much more involved before the handover of power by the end of June.

" Kofi Annan wants to talk about a role for the UN post 30 June. I am not sure of a UN role before that," he said.

The UN role after 30 June would be in helping to set up the elections for the constitutional assembly by March next year, in drawing up the constitution itself and then organising full elections for a new government by the end of the year.

.... this article also addresses the Kurdish issue which is simmering in the North of Iraq. What a mess....

1. U.N. should demand that U.S. have a real president before helping out.
Since the fraudulent one caused this premptive mess. Just to keep his slimey self and all his PNAC buddies in power.
Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President
