摘要

The short, easy and wrong solution to the problems in Iraq is to turn them all over to the United Nations and urge other countries to help. This basically is Senator John Kerry's response to any "What would you do?" questions. He and others who criticize President Bush for going to war without the UN's permission and the support of the international community offer only this egregiously useless solution. The ignorance, misconceptions and faulty judgment displayed in such thinking are appalling. To begin with, we have the support and participation in Iraq of some 30 countries. Not incidentally, the majority of eastern European countries are with us. They remember what it was like to be under the brutal domination of the Soviet Union. Secondly, it seems that no one quite understands what the consequences of turning all this over to the UN would be. The UN is totally incapable of fighting a war. It can assemble troops―most of whom have not trained together―for "peacekeeping missions," usually in areas where there is no peace. Then there is the problem of UN procedures, which enable one of the veto-holding countries―for whatever tawdry reason of trade―to block any action that most other nations would want to take. Result: impotence. Finally, a good look at the record of Lakhdar Brahimi, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's choice as the man to bring democracy to Iraq, shows how wrong the UN can be. Brahimi was hailed by the large anti-US, faction as a skilled, seasoned diplomat, incon-trast with the U.S. and other administrators now in charge.
