Apologies I forgot to add my comment to the last part

All that plan ensures:

1. That Saddam and the Ba'ath Party remain in power in Iraq.

2. That democracy never sees the light of day in Iraq.

3. That the UN is made to look even more foolish and irrelevant than it manages to do by its own actions - or more correctly by its lack of action.

4. That the exiled alternative government is viewed by all as a puppet regime.

The long term good of the Iraqi people and the region as a whole would be better served with an administration similar to that set up in Germany and Japan at the end of the Second World War - long, difficult and costly - but it would work.
