American side says that's why the United States will stay the course in Iraq, and they are in good company. Today there are 24,500 soldiers from 34 countries standing alongside American soldiers. There are scores of nations involved in reconstruction efforts, which have committed billions in donations and in-kind services. The United Nations is also involved. Since May 2003, the U.N. Security Council has passed four Resolutions, which have established a comprehensive framework for international participation and progress. These Resolutions have also paved the way for more extensive UN involvement. //

The Coalition Provisional Authority has made great progress. Working with a mix of US government agencies, private contractors, and Iraqis, they have retrofitted decrepit power and sewage treatment plants, which already surpass prewar output and reliability. They have renovated and reopened the port of Umm Qasr and the Baghdad International Airport, repaired oil facilities and expanded the communications infrastructure. They have vaccinated some 3 million toddlers, distributed almost 9 million schoolbooks,and created jobs for nearly a half-million Iraqis. That is especially important in a country where unemployment and underemployment is, by some estimates, nearly 50 percent. // Political and economic recovery is without question essential for Iraq, but it will be very difficult to lock in these gains without an improvement in the security situation. For that reason, the US and international military forces will remain in the country. The Department of Defense will also continue to train an Iraqi Military Force, with an ambitious goal of a 40,000 man force by the end of the year. At the same time, the State Department is recruiting and training separate law enforcement forces. The CPA is also dealing with millions of landmines and the conversion of unconventional weapons programs and dual use facilities to peaceful, civilian missions.
