   Some very strong points in that Washington Post article, whoever wrote them.

   How having UN agencies back in Iraq would work out in practice is a good question. Now that the UNHCR has made the call, we’ll just have to see how the military and politicians react, and also how the UN decides to cope with the high levels of risk involved.

   Providing security for humanitarian workers is a must, and in certain areas of the country the situation could prove very dangerous for them. The military still have a war to fight in those places, and I cannot see them giving guarantees to the UN or other aid agencies. Will that be enough for them?
