that so many pols and pundits are now recommending what DK has said all along--hand over oversight of Iraq from the US to the UN. Even people on DU won't admit that Dennis was the first one to publicly say this, or that that they denigrated him for it as being "unrealistic," but what matters is that the idea is out there and gathering momentum.

I never supported the war, but after the "victory," the US should have been sending over tens of thousands of Peace Corps workers, not soldiers. The Peace Corps knows how to train people to live in other countries as guests, not occupiers. This is a perfect example of how having Department of Peace could have spared everyone a great deal of suffering.
