... and an organization, the UN, which doesn't seem to give a rat's ass. That's a totally unfair characterisation. There was no reason for the U.N. to be paying more attention to Iraq than it was. The idea that Saddam is suddenly this big threat is a fabrication. Iraq did not suddenly cause this great crisis in the U.N. This was an issue plucked from obscurity and routine by Karl Rove for the express purpose of influencing the midterm elections. So far every indication points toward Iraq telling the truth that it had abandoned chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, they were after all, ineffective against the type of threat he faced via No Fly zones and sanctions. American policy was in a stalemate of it's own making, it was not the fault of either the U.N. nor Iraq. TP
