its an undeniable fact - not opinion - that Bush called the UN irrelevant (he only tried to get UN support because Powell pushed the issue) and now that he's made a Mesopotamia he wants the UN to come in and be relevant again.

they sent Powell to Europe a few months ago trying to get France Germany and Russia to forgive or reduce the Iraqi debts - while at the same time announcing only US and coalition of the 'willing' can bid on reconstruction contracts - another example of irony - and how not to build a coalition,

when asked who the US will hand sovereignty to on June 30th
Bremer : 'Thats a good question'
Bush : 'Were working on it'

does anyone except a few diehard conservatives believe it will be easy to stabilize and democratize Iraq?
