After a day, the man says the hostages are hungry and he needs food for them. So you send in some food. But instead of feeding the hostages, the man feeds himself and exchanges the remaining food with someone for more guns and bullets. Nice little fantasy you have built up there. However, Saddam has not been witholding UN aid from his people. This has been explained ad nauseum by the UN people who are administrating the aid. The plain fact is that the sanctions have had the effect of weakening the people and strenghtening the ruler. That isn't always the case, but it is this time. Tom
