The UN was exactly who we needed in Iraq, and they are far less corrupt than Bush-Cheney and Halliburton and their corrupt privatization and profiteering of our military. There is something like 11 billion missing in Iraq and 10-25% of all Iraqi oil is being stolen before it hits the market. Cheney's people are in charge of the Iraqi oil. So who's stealing billions in Iraqi oil, Dickster? The UN is the only org in the world which can nation re-build without causing acrimony from one side or another. They have a very difficult job and thousands of true heros work for the UN, risking their lives for very low pay to help bring peace, democracy and sanity to the most insane parts opf the world. The corruption in Iraq under the UN food program was due to middlemen who Saddam picked, not the UN itself. And I'm sure the corruption is emuch worse today in Iraq. As well as in the White House. 12 billion in no-bid contracts for Halliburton for instance? With Halliburton already guilty of massive over-charging and fraud?
