Yeah Moraine we did start the bidding low didnt we?

I doubt we'll give up over-all military command no matter what, atleast in the foreseeable future. The bigger issue IMO is the U.N. civilian administration of Iraq. Restoring/forming governments and infrastructure is what the U.N. is good at correct? Let the U.S. do the dirty resistance/terrorist hunting and let the U.N. do what it does best. I hold both institutions (the U.S. & U.N.) in high regard though both have faults as well low points in leadership and policy. Of course being American I maybe biased

we are all only human, right...
I dont know about this money being owed and I risk gloating, er um I mean, speaking

to soon and too much with my previous post, but hey if I were France or Germany I would be asking for the moon right now.
