"Your description of Iraq's best scenario is particularly shocking in this respect : 'That's with the UN presiding over a good decade of bloodshed before it stabilizes.' My best scenario is that the US get a firm condemnation for the Iraq invasion by the Hague. That along with the UK she is condemned to pay due compensations to the Iraqis and to forward big reconstruction money."
Juan Cole, a college professor and liberal expert on the Middle East, continues to push the idea that the UN should take over from the US in Iraq. According to the reader quoted above, he has done so again in this interview in Detroit's Metro Times paper: http://www.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=8917
Each time he proffers this solution to the Iraq occupation, he is contradicted by the bulk of his commenters, but he keeps it up. As the reader points out, he is pretty cavalier with the lives of Iraqis, considering they did nothing to deserve the wrath of the West, as it has descended on them.
