83. The Iraqis hate the UN too, don't they? Because of the sanctions?
How is the UN going to stop a civil war that's just begun?

This was always going to happen whenever Saddam died. His sons weren't going to be able to hold the country together.

Maybe that was part of the urgency. Saddam was in his sixties and under stress....why not steal a lead on the contending sides?

They probably need to fight it out. They aren't going to accept an imposed decision. The Palestinians never did.
