From your own post...

``As the UN panel on humanitarian issues in Iraq is due to report next
month this new thinking can start saving lives very quickly'', explained
Rowat. His group is most hopeful about the French proposal made last
month. ``While keeping its eyes firmly on preventing Iraqi rearmament it,
by removing restrictions on all but military and dual-use goods, seems the
most able to allow ordinary Iraqis to rebuild their lives''.

An American counter-proposal lifts the cap on oil sales that Iraq is
allowed to make, a hollow gesture as low oil prices prevent Iraq from
reaching the current cap. It seems to prefer keeping the Sanctions
Committee, the secrecy of whose decisions has been used by veto-holders on
the Security Council to block humanitarian imports for political reasons.

I realize you feel the need to excuse Saddam's behavior.

LOL. The only need here is yours......the need to defend Bush and his pre emptive, costly war! ;~)
