About 100,000 kids were dying each year as crooks inside the UN were
making deals with S for oil-for-food "vouchers"... S and pals were
getting the money, not sick and starving childern. And the Kurdish
(north) and Shiite (south) zones were nearly autonomous, protected
no-fly zones. Hardly Shangrila.

The US partly attacked Saddam and partly attacked the UN.

I'm no fan of x86 (what a kluge!) but at least they saved us a few
dozen gigawatt-sized power plants.

Quite. I once worked with a highly-intelligent person from Biafra in
Nigeria, at the time when the Biafrans were subject to a genocide
attempt. Charlie explained to me, 'Biafrans are Africa's answer to Jews;
hard-working, mostly very sociable, and thus successful. No wonder the
others hate us.'.
