...what will happen to Iraq once Saddam Hussein is removed from power. The debate raging in both European capitals and the hallowed halls of the United Nations Security Council is over the role that various world powers, most specifically the United States and the U.N., will play in the post-war reconstruction.

The U.S. has been advised to take control of the city as soon as possible because Kirkuk may be the focal point of post-war conflict between Turkey and the Kurds of northern Iraq. Thousands of Kurdish fighters whose families were driven out of the city by Saddam's ethnic cleansing campaign over the past decade have vowed to return and claim their property. But Turkey sees Kurdish control of Kirkuk as unacceptable, both...
