LAT says U.N. can help

In an editorial today, the LAT pushes for peace in Iraq, suggesting that the U.N. sponsor a peace process and engage Iraq's neighbors. Peace in Iraq is a good idea if the price isn't too high but, sadly, the U.N. is corrupt and useless. The U.S. has already convened conferences with Iraq's neighbors, who seem either unable or unwilling to help. Two neighbors, Iran and Syria, actively support and promote violence in Iraq. Expecting either the U.N. or Iraq's neighbors to help achieve peace is fantasizing.
