An incredible amount of stealing has occurred at the United Nations’ oil-for-food program with Iraq. Investigations have exposed collusion between Saddam Hussein and high-ranking officials in countries such as Russia, Syria and France. Evidence suggests that Hussein used billions of dollars--intended for imported food and medicine--to bribe countries to resist sanctions against Iraq. With all this coming to light, it's becoming very clear why these nations opposed war with Iraq.
There can be no doubt that the oil-for-food program is the worst scandal the world has ever seen. The program started in 1996 to provide Iraqi citizens with much-needed food, supplies and medicine to relieve oppression from UN sanctions against their country. The UN allowed Iraq to sell limited quantities of oil to pay for the citizens’ humanitarian needs.
Hussein used the program to serve himself. The idiots at the UN gave him complete control in deciding who to sell the oil to and for how much. In the process, Hussein pocketed about 6 billion dollars. He also bribed leading UN officials--3 billion dollars divided among select diplomats. Two of those diplomats were Kofi Annan and his son. Over 370 former cabinet officials, legislators, political activists and journalists in more than 46 countries profited illegally from the program--including Benon Sevan, executive director of the program, and the former French Ambassador to the UN, Jean-Bernard Merimee.
Truly, greed is a major force in global politics. In this case it trumped efforts to provide aid for suffering children and other civilians. All this has arisen while Washington is being pressured to hand over control of Iraq to the thieving UN. This scandal has demonstrated how hopeless and corrupt the UN is--and provided more proof of humanity’s ineptitude at governing itself.
