we will just have to create a success story in Iraq Despite all the talk going around, I've seen no convincing ideas on how this is to be done. Have you? Yes. I think the success of the UN-protected areas in northern Iraq is a model for the rest of Iraq. The oil-for-food program works because the money is actually used to buy food, medicine and necessities for the people. The people in that area have a much higher literacy rate, much lower infant mortality rate, all the things you would expect in a viable economy. The Iraqi people themselves are fairly advanced. There's no reason the rest of them can't be as great a success as the ones in Northern Iraq. I am not a fan of the sanctions. I think the people in Iraq should be liberated.
