AUT: Iraq

["George Pennefather" <poseidon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Washington's promise to suspend sanctions within a year or so if Iraq agrees to a weapons
inspection programme cannot be believed. Once the inspectorate is in Iraq the previous
imperialist process
may be repeated. The inspectorate will always want to become more invasive provoking Iraq
into preventing further inspections. This response by Iraq will then be used to delay
ending its embargo on Iraq.

At the very least the establishment of a UN inspectorate in Iraq will strengthen
Washington's hand allowing it more options. It can if so wishes use the inspectorate as a
means to delay or call off the ending of the embargo. It is interesting to see that Russia
and China merely abstained. As I understand it they have a veto on the Security
Council --just shows how pro-western and weak they are

Warm regards
