BAGHDAD, July 20 -- U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan has given a report to members of the U.N. Security Council urging them to endorse the new Governing Council created by the U.S.-led occupation authority in Iraq, calling it "a broadly representative partner with whom the United Nations and the international community at large can engage."

Annan's recommendation, which was delivered to Security Council members Friday but is not to be released to the public until Monday, is an important show of support for the Governing Council, a 25-member body whose members were selected by the occupation authority to assume responsibility for numerous day-to-day tasks.

That is good news. Let's see if they can restore peace and find Saddam and his hangers on. And yes, send in UN peacekeepers. Iraq needs a nuetral body, and better yet, a muslum force to restore law and order, if that is possible.

It is more than possible as we are training Iraqi locals to do just that.

I understand that, but in this case, they may be to close to the forest to see the trees. It will take people they trust to lead them, and we aint it. If Saudia Arabia can send all those millions of dollars to terrorist bomber families, maybe they can send some money and good will and people to help out Iraq. In 91, we went to protect their backside from Saddam, remember? Time to call in a few markers.
