Multi-national peacekeeping force in Iraq composed of Muslim countries...?

(from juan cole...)

wow... cool...

The Organization of the Islamic Conference is thinking of getting involved with Iraq. Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is talking about bringing Iraqi stakeholders together, and is even holding out the possibility of peace-keeping troops! The OIC is a meeting of the foreign ministers of Muslim countries (countries with substantial Muslim populations have observer status; Russia does, and if the US was smart it would seek it). Serious OIC interest in peacekeeping in Iraq would be the most hopeful thing I have heard recently.

i am sure the u.s. would see this as interference with its divinely-ordained right to manipulate the iraqi government and to maintain unfettered access to iraqi oil...
