Quoting from a few paragraphs in that article:


In another troubling sign, a two-car convoy carrying members of the International Organization for Migration were ambushed near the southern city of Hilla when a pickup truck pulled up alongside one car and opened fire.

The car collided with a bus. Personnel in a World Health Organization (news - web sites) convoy traveling behind the IOM vehicles treated three injured and took the Iraqi driver to a hospital, where he died, said Omer Mekki, the WHO deputy director in Iraq.

Both convoys were clearly marked as U.N. vehicles.

There are many that want UN intervention, but focusing on the last sentence...would the dissidents, fundamentalists or Saddams' sympathizers or whatever they are, would they treat the UN peacekeepers any differently than the current coalition forces in the country? Plus the fact that UN presence would increase the number of, for lack of better word, "foreign occupiers" in Iraq.

No! They would not treat the UN-forces "better" than the current coalition forces.

For them, every foreign soldiers that enters Iraq, will be an enemy.
Specially if they are "christians".

Sorry to say, but one cannot speak logic to people like this. For whatever you grant them, or give them, or try to talk to them, the only thing they will see is WEAKNESS.

If you stop being hard, it is weakness.
If you try to negotiate with them, it is weakness.

This is a classic "You damned if you do, and you damned if you don't-situation".

The reason that UN should go in, is that in that way, the World are behind it. Yes, I do know that there are a lot of countries there allready, but the UN ain't behind.

For quite a while, only the Sunni-muslims had been attacking the coalitions. Only a few Shia-attack have been encountered. But now it seems like they also are about to really join the game. And now the heat is really gonna be hot. These peoples are FANATICS in the worst possible way. You actually do them a favour by killing them. And that is why they are so GDF dangerous.

As you all know, Iran is just a stonethrow away. And as I earlier posted, the best Roadside bomb-factories in the world, are over there. When the Shias are on the march, noone is safe.

It will take a lot of effort, and many many years, if ever to get Iraq back to the standard of the country prior to 1979.

It may sound pesimistic, but this is just how these countries are. Not one single sane country in the region, it just look like some of them are...

Where 2 is fihting 3-d is gaining.

There is no chance that UN forcrs will be treated diferentlly from curent coalition forces

why?
For all scums such: terrorist, fanatics, criminalists & more...stabilisation isn't in their interests. Chechenya like conditions provides: hide plays, black weapon market, money sources & more.
They need such places desperately(since 9/11)
They will use every oporunity to mix in heads of normal people. For example they will provoke coalition actions aginst demonstrating people, by spraying few rounds at soldiers wich will probably injure or kill innocents while defending,after that, they will spray information that [US|UN] is persecuting iraqi people, freedom of spech & such, then will be more demonstartions, more shoting, more victims, more them...

So there is no point in switching colour of the flags, but in fast delivery of water, power, medicines, work to this people, so they will not have to protest, sufer pain, hunger & diseases.

sry for gramma & ort.
