We preview Tuesday's United Nations General Assembly meeting. The Iraqi Governing Council set up by U.S. officials has been pressing to win sovereignty as an interim government in Iraq. At the same time, France and Germany are leading a push to give the U.N. more authority in Iraqi reconstruction and to set a timetable for handing over power to the Iraqis in a matter of months.
