Zonder - maybe you can answer these questions. The Iraqi people have suffered for years because Saddam will not cooperate with UN weapons inspectors. All he has to do is allow the weapons inspectors full, unfettered access to all of Iraq in order that the weapons inspectors can locate and destroy all chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons and the means of production. He won't allow it. Why? The sanctions amount to an embargo on all Iraqi oil. It is sold by the UN and put into a bank account in the name of the Iraqi government. Saddam can use the money for food and medicine for his people. He won't do it. Why? The UN is in control of North Iraq, and the people there are well-fed, have all the medical attention they need, and all the material goods they need. The people in Saddam's Iraq could live that way, too, if only Saddam would cooperate with the weapons inspectors. He won't allow it. Why? He already agreed to do it a number of times, but always changed his mind. Why?
