Why are Russia, France and Germany refusing to cooperate in the rebuilding of Iraq without full reign being given to the UN? Even I support the idea that Bush & Co have a lot of profit to gain by being the heroes and saving the oil fields at the same time but it seems to me that there is a lot more going on, through covert actions on the part of other countries, that have yet to be revealed; action that in the long run, could have other countries in no better positions than Iraq was with Saddam. Of course, Bush could be the beast and they are trying to save the world.

And the US never sold anything to Iraq. Okay?

If the UN has full control over the new government of Iraq, that eliminates any question of US subterfuge over the invasion. The US invades Iraq then sets up there own hand picked government. No, not suspicious at all.

Yes, there is a lot more going on. Why such interest from the US?[/QUOTE]The only problem with the UN doing that is the UN is to slow and unweldy (SP?) Look at Kosivo, Hatti compared to Afghaistan much smaller countries yet they are no where near having a stable Goverment after years and years of UN help. The UN is good at passing out food and clothes but making a goverment, sorry but it's a Charlie Foxtrot.
