However, once that is over and done, a UN force will be all that is needed. This UN force wont be any different from the one in the balkans, lebanon, etc, and I'm quite sure most countries in the world are willing to contribute, just like in those places.

This is, of course, assuming that everything goes as hoped... It's just a chance of it happening this way, but I don't see any other solution, to be honest.
Well Hore Tore I cant believe I am going to say this but after reading your last few posts on the matter I am coming to see your point and agreeing with you.

i think a 3province/state split might actually work but I am not so sure on the time table of stability to the point of UN/Nato countries sending in peace keepers.

Still i am not opposed to this potential solution.
