Iraq Official: U.N. Failed Us and Should Help Now

Dec. 16 — By Evelyn Leopold
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iraq's foreign minister accused the United Nations on Tuesday of failing his country by leaving Saddam Hussein in power for decades and appealed to the world body to assume a leading role in Baghdad immediately.

In an address to the U.N. Security Council, Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari noted that U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan was opening offices in Cyprus and Jordan for international staff, who would commute to Baghdad. <snip>

He called the United Nations "the key forum of collective international action to help us achieve our goals of restructuring and democratizing our country."

Zebari accused the 15-member Security Council of being divided "between those who wanted to appease Saddam Hussein and those who wanted to hold him accountable" and said they should overcome the deep divisions over the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

I wonder how deep * has his hand up Zebari's ass. If he were being genuine he should have mentioned how Reagan and * sr. "failed the Iraqi people" aswell.

Just ask the people of Rwanda.

If the UN doesn't go along with us...we go it alone and Israel simply ignores the UN. When to two greatest aggressors on earth ignore you and won't abide by the rule of laws that everyone else does, how can you be effective, responsible, or to blame?
