< Rather than allow the UN inspectors access to the information they needed to give Iraq a clean bill of health, he stonewalled, temporized and obstructed.> CB, in defence of Saddam, we should remember that he was dealing with a UN inspectorate infested with USA spies who were after him, helping the USA military prepare for his demise. You shouldn't be surprised that he kicked them out. He couldn't tell which were spies, so as one does, one gets rid of the whole lot. The USA wouldn't want a swarm of USSR spies disguised as UN inspectors running around and would be inclined to kick the UN out rather than submit to the fraud. The USA has also stonewalled, temporized and obstructed the UN over the past year too, but I notice on CNN right now that they are seeing that civilization has some useful attributes, such as not so many dead and maimed Americans being sent back home to their families. What the USA really should do, is support a complete revamp of the UN instead of maintaining the absurd geopolitical Arabian Nights approach which evolved from 19th century territoriality and warring kingdoms and empires.
