This sounds promising. And while I agree that the UN has a humanitarian role to play, I utterly agree with keeping them out of the peace-keeping duties:
The United States plans to set up an international military force in three regions of Iraq, with Poland and Britain controlling two zones and U.S. forces the third, a senior Bush administration official says.Six European countries have agreed to provide troops for the international stabilization force, the official said Friday, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The United States and Britain also are preparing a Security Council resolution that gives the United Nations a role in humanitarian relief in Iraq but not peacekeeping, the official said.
The draft resolution would limit the U.N. role to helping with refugees and displaced people, reconstruction and humanitarian assistance, the official said. The United States and Britain agree on all but a few of the fine details of the resolution, the official said, though there is no timetable on when it would be introduced.
U.N. officials are already in Iraq providing humanitarian relief.
