I think the UN bears some of the blame. They administered the food for oil program and they should have done more to see that that money was used for the purposes it was meant for. No, the responsibility was on Saddam.

>>"Saddam could have avoided the 2003 war if he had fully complied with the UN Inspections, as well. "<< Absolute baloney....I'm no defender of Saddam but Bush 43 was going to get his revenge no matter what Saddam did and with or without UN approval. The UN Sanctions were just that...UN Sanctions not Bush 41 or Clinton or Bush 43 sanctions but certainly supported by all three. The war was all Bush 43 and he deliberately lied to Congress and the American people so that he could do what his god told him to do. >>""God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them." George W. Bush, to Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas at Aqaba.
