Well, I would be okay with the UN designing the systems and taking care of an interim government, but it simply can't. It is a stymied Behemoth, and would not even get the water and sewage running. Sorry, while good in theory, a UN-run interim government would be bad in reality.
You should have seen the show on 60 Minutes. They took the camera through the building in D.C. Over here you see a cubicle labelled "Ministry of Health" with Iraqi-American civilians busily working away, over there one labelled "Ministry of Transportation."
Four years from now, the UN would still be squabbling over which countries got to control the committees derecting the ministries, while anarchy ruled in Iraq. In fact, an interim gov't would be needed while the UN set up an interim gov't.
Go ahead, folks, admit it, you know I'm right. It is simply a case where, for humanitarian reasons and reality reasons, somebody has to do the job. Should the UK be involved? I bet it will be. But, right now a bunch of ex-patriots are really working to get the job done. Rather than hinder the good work they are doing, other countries should offer to assist (thus, becoming part of the decision-making process) and support them.
