As soon as possible

Whenever the topic of withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq is discussed in the media it is assumed that when we leave, Iraq will fall into chaos.

Iraq is already a hell.

Fortunately, U.N. peacekeepers can be invited or sponsored to replace U.S. troops as they withdraw. U.N. peacekeepers can oversee future Iraqi elections, as well as police the private contractors as nation-building continues under U.N. control.

So when the United Nations moves into Iraq, U.S. troops can come home from Iraq – ASAP.

And if the Bush administration doesn’t want U.N. peacekeepers to replace U.S. troops, then we can replace the Bush administration. ASAP.
