This falls squarely on the shoulders of the US. Whether we like it or not. I do not fault other countries for not sending soldiers or money, at least not while the US insists it will be the occupying force. I agree with Tisdall on this one, the UN owes nothing to the US. If anything making sure the US is tied up in Iraq will prevent another war under the bu$h regime. That said, the Iraqi people do not deserve the miserable mess they find themselves in. The only thing that can give, is the bu$h regime, but bu$h' arrogant foreign policy will not allow for a faster transition to Iraqi self rule. It's never been about the best interests of the Iraqi people, it has always been about how quickly US corporate interests could get control of the oil. They haven't secured the prize so more people will have to die.
