Why do you want to get the UN involved? It has an awful track record in peacekeeping. Kosovo is now a UN colony and has been cleansed (under the eyes of the "peacekeepers" you praise) of most of its remaining serbs.

A far better solution is to turn over authority to the interim government when it still can maintain a shred of credibility and get the heck out on a fast time table.

I agree with both your asessments of U.N. troops, but I'll stand by my prediction of them being in there by years end.

IMO, the current situation was entirely predictable and a few heads should be rolling at DOD.
