#3  Given that many Iraqis are annoyed with all of their neighbors, excepting Kuwait as far as I know, for helping to keep Saddam in power, I'm not that surprised.
The dilemma then is whether Bremer tells the council that he knows what is best for them or lets the Iraqis decide this issue for themselves.
I think the latter will happen.

#2  Reuters reports that the Governing Council in Baghdad is opposed to this--or any deployment from a neighboring country.

#1  So what is your take Murat?
It seems that the US is at least leaning on the PKK and giving bribes loans. Is that fair trade for peacekeepers/police?
