In a move to win allies, the United States is considering honoring contracts made by Saddam Hussein's government under the U.N. oil-for-food program if the Security Council lifts sanctions against Iraq, diplomats said on Friday.

NOOOOOOO!!!!

I'm going to get flamed for this opinion.....but I say let's do it..

Give the Russian's the money that is owed to them.

We need to end the Oil for Food...ASAP.

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.
