I consider the U.N. to be allied with Saddam too....and too many like him.....

We need the Iraqi people to stand up and shout this to the world. The world needs to know how people who are oppressed view the UN and their appeasing ways. Of course they view the UN as dupes of Saddam, they have watched as the UN brought food into the country and allowed Saddam and his thugs take it all for themselves. The know that the UN witnessed many of the atrocities that happened to the people and did nothing about it.

The UN is the spritual wellspring of all Sadaams...its where they are raised nurtured and propped up..
Why else would Bill Cliton want to be its head
And the worst is yet to come

Hey Kofi:

BAAHAAWWAAAHHHAAAA!

In your face France, Germany, Russia and all you other UN a$$-clowns!

"If you are right that leaves the US effectively in the position of deciding whether or not the group that the Iraqi's put together will be recognised?"

No, it's the other countries that will decide, obviously.

France won't recognize anyone, or will delay, in order to keep control on Iraqi oil through the UN Food for Oil program.

BTW, I'm shocked how the media totally fails to ask Iraqis what they think about the French, Germans, Russians and the "world." Also about the UN. And what did they think about the manoeuvres in the UN for the past year? Why is no one asking them?

[the UN] defacto allies of Saddam

Well, ain't that the truth! Glad it's coming from Iraqi lips, and I hope the rest of the world takes notice.

Jonathan Dimbleby: "But if the UN is kept on the sidelines there will be no legitimacy to whatever authority emerges because it requires the UN and the Security Council to authorise whatever emerges from the democratic process in which you are engaged?"

Ahmed Chalabi: "That is false. There is no requirement for the UN to sanction anything. The Iraqi people will decide…. And then the UN will accept whoever is representing the Iraqi people".

At least somebody has it right! The UN has no power or authority except that which we cede to them. And that should be zero. Telling the Iraqis that they need UN approval to be legitimate is like telling a Christian that they need papal authority to be legitimate.
