Re: Oil-For-Food Scam
The issue is whether or not the Oil-For-Food programme indicates U.N. corruption (leading as high up as Kofi Annan) and whether or not Security Council votes were comprimised by the corruption.
You totally misrepresent how sanctions came about against Iraq in previous posts. Yes the U.S. supported sanctions but so did many other countries including the voting members of the Security Council. Bush 41 was hailed as a great statesman throughout the world for the coalition that he helped organize for the conduct of Desert Storm. Witness the participation of the Desert Storm coalition members. I agree that the sanctions imposed on Iraq hurt the Iraqi people the most and I agree that they were a very bad idea. FWIW I think U.S. made major mistakes in how it proceeded leading up to Desert Storm and after.
