My original post was directed at Puke, then you and that other fool AKswulfe joined in. I repeat:Anyone who believes the UN sanction led to the death of anyone is a complete moron.

I agree! As well as the UN coffers were nice and full. Everyone was happy (UN and Saddam) except the poor Iraqi people that were NOT Ba'ath party members.

Speaking of members, put yourself back in your pants.

Excellent post Charon...I'm glad someone else knows about the neo-con "Pax Americana" agenda. Kristol, Wolfowitz, Pearle, Feith, and their enabler Karl Rove are the most dangerous folks to enter the Oval Office inner circle since the early '70s, IMHO.

Folks that don't know about the neo-cons need to read their most recent manifesto, "Rebuilding America's Defenses"...which actually even harkens back to several papers written by Wolfowitz starting back in the late '70s.

Wulfe.. you typed this:"If the UN would be allowed to continue to impose these sanctions, the number would keep growing."

didn't you?

Rip, I'm confused(I admit, it happens often)
Earlier you said UN sanctions caused the deaths of Iraqi folks. Now you agree that Saddam caused them.
Listen, your first post is fascinating stuff, and it causes some stuff to make sense, I'm talking about your post in response to My post re:Puke's post...lol.
I can see what you mean about the UN wanting their sanctions/relationship regarding Saddam to go in perpetuity.. like I said... interesting stuff. I just don't see how anyone could feel the UN caused any starvation deaths.
I have been out of line on the boards before, made a love muffin of myself. Believe me, if this is the case here, I'm ready with fork in hand to sample my plate full of crow.

Pass the BBQ sauce!!

Yes, based on that article.

Of course, when you resort to calling people idiots and morons then you've already lost the argument.

Well Wulfe, like I said:Anyone who believes the UN sanction led to the death of anyone is a complete moron.

AKS\/\/ulfe · « **Reply #58 on:** April 08, 2003, 04:37:33 PM »

You never thought that the UN sanctions placed all monetary funds and responsibility over the limited imports/exports monetary gains solely into the hands of Saddam?

Guess you're the moron.

Saddam caused the sanctions in the first place by invading Kuwait. No invasion, full co-operation, no sanctions. Obviously Saddam is responsible for the sanctions. The sanctions in NO way prevented Saddam from buying food. The UN is not responsible for feeding the Iraqi people, the Iraqi government is. The Iraqi government(Saddam) had plenty of money to buy food, they chose to spend it on palaces, SUV's. and other opulent trappings. Any even marginally reasonable person would understand that Saddam alone is responsible for the suffering of his people.
How is it that all of Saddam's associates were well fed? They weren't starving. Do you really believe that Saddam was unable to feed his people? If you do, you are a complete moron.
