determining the way forward. That
is not to say we will shut others out,”
Powell said after a hectic day of
meetings with colleagues at North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) headquarters.
Powell said it was time to move be
yond the “heated disagreements, se
rious disagreements” over the U.S.
decision to go to war “and align our
selves again, with the need to serve
the Iraqi people.”
His European counterparts
agreed, but did not back off their
view that the United Nations, which
Washington abandoned in its deci
sion to invade Iraq, must be returned
to center stage.
France and other European pow
ers, where opposition to the war re
flected public opinion, say they will
not be able to get domestic backing
for reconstruction aid or peace
keeping troops unless the United
Nations controls the process.
“If he (Powell) wasn’t before, he’s
very much aware now of the impor
tance that the European Union at
taches to a U.N. role,” said Christo
pher Patten, the ELTs external affairs
commissioner.
Still, Powell’s hastily arranged visit
here seemed to heal, at least a little,
the breach in trans-Atlantic relations
caused by the war.
Numerous foreign ministers
praised the secretary’s decision to
come and listen to their views, calling
it an example of consultation that the
Bush administration has too frequent
ly skipped in the past.
“Today’s discussions were charac
terized by a complete lack of acrimo
ny,” said Lord George Robertson,
secretary-general of the 19-nation
NATO alliance.
When a reporter suggested Robert
son was perhaps too optimistic, the
NATO chief replied: “I’m always opti
mistic, but I’m not stupid.”
The picture is further clouded by a
raging battle in Washington over
post-war Iraq.
Aides to Defense Secretary Don
ald H. Rumsfeld would like symbol
ic blessing from the United Nations
for their plans to install a new Iraqi
government, but little else. Some
Pentagon officials are pushing a
plan to appoint a new administra
tion dominated by Iraqi exiles and
members of the Iraqi National Con
gress, led by controversial figure
Ahmed Chalabi.
State Department and CIA offi
cials say the new government must
be made of Iraqis who have re
mained in the country as well as the
exiled opposition. And Powell sees a
U.N. role that is more than symbolic.
Powell said the nature of that role
was still under discussion.
“We can’t base European policy on
criticizing the U.S. But we also can’t
base European policy on persuading
the Pentagon,” said EU official Patten.
The discussions Thursday dwelt
mostly on generalities, with the po
tentially contentious details of a
post-war plan put off for later, the
diplomats and officials said.
Powell said he told his colleagues
that in the initial period after the
fighting stops, coalition military
commanders would be responsible
for stabilizing the security situation,
eliminating weapons of mass de
struction and disarming remnants of
the Iraqi army that pose a threat.
At the same time, Powell said, the
coalition will create an interim Iraqi
authority that will be given increasing
power as time goes by.
He said he hoped U.N. Secretary
General Kofi Annan will soon ap
point a personal representative for
Iraq who will supervise the flow of
humanitarian aid and work with the
coalition that sent military forces to
the Persian Gulf.
Virtually every European nation
wants a larger U.N. role than that.
Even British Prime Minister Tony
Blair, President Bush’s staunchest ally
in the war on Iraq, has parted ways
with him on the issue.
French Foreign Minister Do
minique de Villepin acknowledged
that the United States and British
forces on the ground in Iraq will have
initial responsibility for what hap
pens in the country. “But beyond
that the U.N. will have to intervene,”
he said.
Still, de Villepin, who led interna
tional resistance to a war in Iraq,
seemed to be at pains to avoid anoth
er dust-up.
“I think we should be very prag
matic,” he said.
European diplomats also pressed
Powell to rapidly begin mediating
peace between Israel and the Pales
tinians, which they see as an anti
dote to the anger stirred up in the
Arab world by the Iraq campaign.
Bush and Powell have said that a
“road map” for peace will be released
as soon as the new Palestinian prime
minister, Mahmoud Abbas, is con
firmed in office.
The road map should not merely
be published, but rapidly imple
mented, the Europeans said.
