The next time someone (in Rome, perhaps?) suggests that UN forces should be in charge of worldwide peacekeeping efforts, let's remember that right now, Kofi Annan thinks that Iraq is too dangerous for a UN presence. Presumably the UN will be ready to move in and ensure peace-- as soon as peace is ensured.

So the UN doesn't 'make peace'...? They just 'keep' the peace that someone else makes for them? League of Nations, anyone?

Aside from the salons of Manhattan and Paris, most places are too dangerous for UN "Peacekeepers".
