1. The fact is, we are the WORST entity to be trying to rebuild iraq.
We are responsible for the damage, which should make us responsible for the rebuilding, but they hate us for attacking and occupying. They don't trust us.

The UN will step in if we move out. It is not a pleasant job, but it must be done. The UN is not a supernatural entity. It is just the collection of nations. Those nations realize that the work must be done. But Bush just wants them to come and fight for us. He will give the UN no say in how to set up a government or any other aspect of the rebuilding. No one will come in under those circumstances. Remove the restrictions- give it a chance to succeed in other words- and they will come.
