Putting the British in charge is a REALLY dumb idea. Arabs have a long memory and previous generations of the Brits were not exactly known for the empathy.

Just read an article on Yahoo.com that entitled "Europe Demands post-war UN Role in Iraq". Don't see where Europe could DEMAND anything.

i believe the brits would be a good choice to keep the peace after is all done and said. they have a little more tact than we do. we are good at kicking ass and they are way more diplomatic imo. sorry for not using caps when needed but im holding both my wiener dogs in one arm. they are very needy you know.

British Empire?

been there, done that...

ask the parents of the kids who were mangled, crippled and killed by the iraqi dogs and swine if their children were fighting to put the UN or any other nation but the US in charge...even the fantastic Brits...sharing control with the Brits will be sufficient

To the freakin' world: How about turning it over to a freely elected Iraqi government of their own people with advisors from the USA and Britain and other allies? Then we can bring our sons and daughter home. Now there's a concept...

[joesnuffy]

Uh Uh...the Brits cant even run their own country and have taken away the most fundamental of God Given freedoms from their "subjects" (they dont have citizens)

The USA is THE ONLY power that should be in control for the duration..and should relinquish control only after the Iraqis have paid what they owe us..

For 09-11,OK City, TWA 800, WTC X2, etc etc...and the economic toll the terrorist acts sponsored by their Govt have taken on us...

The Brits have changed a lot since then. Best to be US. Unless you want a more socialist Iraq.

NO WAY; everyone knows and the polls prove that Britain has been taken over by the Islamists. This is a ploy to get the Islamists in charge: no friggin way.

Addendum to my last post: This is just a ploy to get the Islamists in charge along with the Arabs. No way, this will undue what we have been trying to do. Iraq needs to be a secular Democracy where Iraqi's can have freedom of religion according to their own conscience before God. There are Christians and other minority religions in Iraq. No more taking over lands and countries by Islamists; it is they who are trying to globalize the world according to religion. No, no , no, this is a ploy to ruin the West's plan to promote FREEDOM and democracy in the ME; if they do this upon the blood of coalition troops, I am going to be extremely angry and upset.

Of course what the Brits put in place resulted in Hussein. No hit on our British friends whom I dearly love but I don't events in 1918 are really a good way of determining who should setup the government, and if they are then we have to look at the long term results which weren't very good.

"Good for the Arab world"? After them screaming, "Jihad!", "Jihad!", burning our flag and wishing death to our President and our nation; I could give a flying f**k whether it's "good" for the "Arabs".

[DianaN]

I had to post just one more time. Let's see, they burn our flag, insult our President, support Saddam and his thugs, protest believe Iraqi Information Minister instead of the members of our government, protest against us, call us "terrorists" and in Syria's case, ship enemy combatants over the Iraqi border, their media calls Americans "war mongers", "hawks", "robots brainwashed by the Zionists",etc. ad nauseum and we aren't supposed to think their distrust and dislike of us is their damn problem? After what they have done, we need and DESERVE to have the opportunity to prove them wrong.
