Don't be too worried about the oil for food scam. It can't be the same now. Saddam is gone, and the Kurds are after the $4 billion bucks the UN owes them for their oil.

I can't see how the UN can get away with allowing millions of Iraqis to starve now that the world is watching them, so a version of an oil for food program may be just the ticket.

If I were you, I'd be a heckuva lot MORE worried that PM Blair seems to want the UN to GOVERN Iraq. No way. The country would dissolve into permanent civil war within a week of the UN taking control of governing it.

Well blair is naieve in thinking the un is relevant

but i saw him with putin in their incredibly hostile meeting, he stated then

"american and british lives were lost in iraq, it is inconceivable that control will just be handed to the UN"

he wants a role for them,

I personally dont want the un heavily involved. But its clear they wont be in charge
