The U.N. Security Council created the so-called "Oil for Food" program to allow Saddam Hussein's government to sell oil so it may buy food and medical supplies for Iraqis while Iraq was under international sanctions.

U.S. congressional investigators have since found evidence that Saddam Hussein siphoned billions of dollars from this program, and still much of the UN, including Secretary General Annan are still against the war in Iraq.

So the UN cares about the people of Iraq so much so that they redistribute the world's wealth to the contry, and the dictator uses it for his own purposes. How can these people care, but not care enough to remove the dictator?

Because there is no percentage in it. Hussein's billions of dollars that he got from the program went right back into the pockets of countries like France, Germany, and Russia, three of the most vocal countries opposed to the current war in Iraq. In simple terms, the program was a way to take some of the world's money and give it to those bad old multi-national corporations.

The word 'war' to many means a conflict between nations, but that is not what this war is about. This war is not a conflict between the United States and the people of Iraq, it is a war to liberate the people of Iraq if for no other reason than to stop those politicians and countries that oppose this war from fleecing the world out of money through apparently altruistic schemes that ignore the people of Iraq.

Perhaps a mere sixty years after World War II, the French people have lost respect for and desecrated the cemeteries of American service-men buried in their country, but I hope the Iraqi people's long-term appreciation for the group of nations fighting this current war will survived for longer.
