Today the U.N. voted to play a more important role in reconciling Iraq. I think this decision has been needed for quite some time. The Iraqi government requested the U.N. to encourage political talks between ethnic and religious groups. Hopefully this action by a neutral party and not the Western government will assist in reconciling feuding groups. Maybe these groups can sit down and settle things without raging war. But, this seems like it should be the first action to be taken and not a last resort. This resolution seeks to expand the U.N.'s involvement in Iraq in three ways and help Iraqis affected by humanitarian crisis. I think this move will show effective in the coming year.
