Another way of raising the issue:

It's OK to have a corrupt Oil for Food program because they're dealing with the Iraqis. If the UN did the same thing and embezzle the same amount of money from the GDP of Iceland (we're talking about the same amount of money in each case), there would be a potential backlash.

Just damn.

True its ok to have an racist stance against the Iraqi people. Surely the peaceniks would have flocked to the streets in protest after Clinton began the high altitude Baltic bombing did you?
