Vote on Iraq Ends Sanctions and Grants U.S. Wide Authority NITED NATIONS, May 22 ó Nearly seven weeks after Baghdad fell to American-led forces, the United Nations Security Council voted overwhelmingly today to end nearly 13 years of sanctions on Iraq, capping the swift military triumph with a significant diplomatic victory. The resolution offered by the United States, Britain and Spain, which passed by a 14-to-0 vote, gives an international legal standing to the coalition forces' broad authority over the management of Iraq, over the formation of a new Iraqi government and over billions of dollars in annual oil revenues. It allows the exports of Iraqi petroleum products to resume and grants legal immunity for such sales until Dec. 31, 2007. ..... nytimes.com We do want to follow the UN lead, now don't we?
