The UN Security Council has unanimously voted for the fourth text of the US/UK resolution on the future of Iraq. I have nothing useful to offer on this myself, but recommend that people check out Rahul Mahajan's analysis of the resolution (which was in fact written before the Security Council vote, although the points remain valid). He concludes that in order to secure the fig-leaf of UN credibility the US has been forced to make various concessions to Iraqi self-determination, which seems at least for the time being a fair assesment.
