Darleen >How do you know who you are supplying food to? If you are talking about the US supplying food to the Iraqis, it would appear that Iraq has already "paid" for it under the existing US Oil for Food program by which Iraq gave the US oil in exchange for food. Accordingly, it is not a gift and, in fact, is already tacitly the property of the Iraqis. aeronautics.ru >>>During the past seven days of the war the US Navy detained all ships in the Persian Gulf going to Iraq under the US "Oil for Food" program. Since yesterday all these ships are being unloaded in Kuwait. Unloaded food is being delivered by the US military to Iraq and is being distributed as "American humanitarian aid" and as a part of the "rebuilding Iraq" program. These US actions have already cause a serious scandal in the UN. The US explained its actions by its unilateral decision to freeze all Iraqi financial assets, including the Iraqi financial assets with the UN. These assets the US now considers its property and will exercise full control over them. Captains of the detained ships have already called these actions by the US a "piracy."<<<
