And the US appears to have listened to those suggestions and as a result: "The United States said on Monday it would lay out steps in a new draft U.N. resolution to put Iraqis back in control of their country as the human cost of occupying Iraq mounted. The U.N. resolution, which Secretary of State Colin Powell predicted would be ready within days, was aimed at answering European complaints that a previous draft was too vague on how Iraqis could replace U.S. occupation authorities." Reuters, 29th September, 2003 So take it easy, if the new resolution offers a proper timetable for the return of Iraqi sovereignty, you'll soon see EU troops and money rolling in to help Uncle Sam out.

And there is currently no common EU foreign policy - although there is an ongoing attempt to introduce the concept via the new EU Constitution. Also the UN and the SC is not comprised merely of EU member states - but encompasses 191 sovereign countries; so the actions/inactions of the UN is not merely an EU affair - and therefore it is unfair to judge the EU by a body that it does not control.
