I did not say "they" will blame it all on Sudan. There are the European governments, the Middle Eastern governments, the populace, the various religious factions, and so on... I said the responsibility for the deprivation rests with Saddam. I also said that lifting the sanctions and ending the current stalemate would have to be replaced by some other policy. I did not say I was against lifting the sanctions but that this would have to be replaced by another policy with the same strategic goals of minimizing Iraq's potential for troublemaking. Saddam is pushing again at the envelope to see how much more he can get without being sacrificing his power. In exchange for temporary "compliance", he will get some further concessions from the UN and later he will push the envelope again. Check out policy.com on this topic or other political web sites and you will see that primarily Britain, Canada, and the US are the only ones that currently support a military resolution. Russia has threatened a world war in a number of statements. French are against use of force. The Saudis are as well.
