France Said to Favor Peacekeepers in Iraq The weekly Der Spiegel said the plan would have international peacekeepers "in effect take control of the country for years," declare all of Iraq a no-fly zone and lead to agreements with Iraq's neighbors to crack down on smuggled exports of Iraqi oil as part of strengthened economic sanctions. [AP World News]

An interesting plan, but does anyone really believe that Saddam Hussein would accept the occupation of his country for several years?

It makes you wonder if this is a plan designed for failure, so that Germany and France can say, "well, at least we tried to avert a war, but those Iraqis just wouldn't listen!"
