the un is considers iraq...

would a un force (but not 'blue helmets') make any difference?
the terrorists already view the un as the enemy...they reject everything western as unholy and everyone as an infidel. they would love to have more troops to pick off, one by one. especially the unarmed ones...

the problem is that we really do need the un to commit to some involvement for the benefit of the iraqi people at large (excluding the terrorists in their midst). but the 'war on terror' isn't over. if the un goes in to take care of some of the responsibilities for social order that the us is doing (or not doing) now, then the us will have a thicker force by which to chase the bad guys and 'smoke 'em outta there holes.'

or the us could just commit more troops.
