<snip>The Ukrainian departure came as Serbia's prime minister ruled out sending troops to join the US-led international division in Iraq.

Zoran Zivkovic said joining United Nations peacekeeping missions would be a good way for Serbia's military - accused of some of the worst atrocities of the Balkan wars - to repair its reputation.

However, he said, Serbian law forbade participation by the military in operations not run by the UN.

1. Ha Ha!

Let's see the Arab League said "NO" to recognizing the Iraqi council and the Arab Allies said "NO" to sending support troops for "humanitarian" and policing purposes. Oh and they blow up the Jordanian embassy in Baghdad today. HMMM think the world is sitting back going "we told you not to do it"
