Khans words "to be assigned wherever a U.N. humanitarian presence is needed * * * it is a small step for peace. a tentative but instructive idea of how innovation. even within the United Nations somewhat rigid structures. can unblock the impasse." These 500 guards operate according to a May 23 U.N. agreement with Iraq and the framework agreement signed in Baghdad on April 18. It is a humanitarian operation which can only be successful if the United States stands watchfully and forcefully behind -it. Unfortunately. thus far the voluntary fundraising effort has fallen short of needs. The United States must lead the world to make certain this shortage evaporates. It would be a tragic and bitter end if the freedom of these refugees was sacrificed to complacency. Mr. Khans vision for a new kind of response is worthy of our support.
