Iraqis Looking to U.N. to Limit Bloody U.S. Mission

One thing is certain, the continuing and escalated occupation of Iraq has played right into the hands of everyone who has an interest in keeping our military forces bogged down in Iraq. The occupation has clearly become a military mission against the Iraqis themselves, with millions having fled their homes -- and those remaining, in the way of whatever mission Bush and his generals contrive -- well apart from any need or concern of the Iraqi people.

Under the guise of preserving the Iraqi regime Bush has installed behind the sacrifices and deadly power of our military forces, our soldiers are now reduced to staging contrived assaults against Iraqi civilians; and Bush is now, unilaterally, pressing our forces to open a new offensive against the threat he's conjured out of whole cloth against Iraq's neighbor, Iran.

The Iraqis are correct to look for ways to limit the military ambitions of the U.S. in their country, but it goes without saying that it's probably too late to expect the U.N. to have any more influence on the U.S. in Iraq than they've already demonstrated in their surrender to Bush's invasion and overthrow.

The Iraqis would be better served by cutting ties with the U.S. carpetbaggers altogether and voting in their parliament for our military forces to leave. Expecting the U.S. and the Bush administration to recognize or respect the toady exiles they've enabled into power in Iraq as the Iraqi parliament begs the U.N. to stand in the way of Bush's swaggering advance is doomed to disappoint.
