I seem to recall the U.N. demanding international involvement in the reconstruction of Iraq shortly before the war ended. now that the U.N. is in the country, I have seen them do little in the way of keeping the peace or restoring order. If I am wrong, by all means correct me, I would feel much better about putting faith into the U.N.

Dear Mr Stereotype, I feel you are the retard here.
The UN has no powers in keeping what little peace there is or restoring order as that's the invading coalition's responsibility at the moment.
Until the US and British forces do get some degree of control and order there the UN will remain ineffective. My point was that Bush is now desperate to get some other troops in so that he can extricate himself from a problem of his own making in my opinion. The US and UK are to table a motion to get more countries in to help out which is ironic in the extreme when they went out of their way to AVOID getting one to authorise military action in the 1st place.
One could also say that Bush's cronies didn't want any UN involvement in reconstruction as they made sure firms like Halliburton and Bechtel got the jobs to do that.
