The UN has no legitimacy to convey
Telegraph Editorial:
...
"There are enough problems attendant on the birth of democracy in Iraq without burdening the country with an organisation that proved so inadequate in confronting the previous dictatorship, whether over oil for food or defiance of Security Council resolutions. George W Bush and Tony Blair may welcome shedding the odious status of occupiers. But they should be under no illusions that the UN will prove an adequate substitute. Given its record in the Balkans and the Middle East, their continuing faith in that body as providing a unique cloak of legitimacy is astonishing."
This is just another attempt to appease the Weasal states who did not want to see Iraq liberated and break up their citizens corrupt use of "oil for food" proceeds. Domesticlly it makes it somewhat harder for critics who pushed UN involvement to make political hay. It is really the the people who most want the democracy enterprise in Iraq to fail who most want the UN in charge.
