I'm sorry but I have to react to such willfull ignorance about the Iraqi sanctions program. Have you any idea just how the sanctions program was set up and under which conditions it operated? There is a darker side to the UN sanction program you don't seem to be aware of. It seems ordinary Iraqis were simple reduced to political bargaining chips in the process.

Cap, I have ALWAYS maintained that the UN is corrupt.
I know EXACTLY how it was operated, Saddam took the food money and lined his pockets with it.
He made sure that he gave kick-backs in the form of sweet deals to France and Russia to ensure nobody pressed the investigation of this too hard.
I'm not sure if you were trying an end-around to blame the US/GB for Iraqi starvation, if you are, your quite naieve, and I don't think that's the case at all.
The sanctions caused a disaster in Iraq because Saddam willfully refused to give food to his people, another "proganda" victory for him, "UN kills thousands through sanctions."
I was hoping many have finally come to admit to themselves what Saddam was, and how wrong the UN was since 1991.
