Strange how we couldn't wait to go into Iraq to depose a despotic dictactor, but give Zimbabwe a wide berth

Perhaps they care too much about the amount of Eurovision votes they'd get if they went into Zimbabwe

I'd say the reason why I don't think the west will ever go into Zimbabwe but I'd be accused of racism so I won't!

Right.. The coalition certainly is taking advantage of the Iraqi oil industry??... sorta like the THE UN OIL-FOR -FOOD benifit program for Germany France and Russia. But wait, were'nt those the countries that resisted UN sanctions for months while enriching themselves..

But wait, those benefiting from the Oil for Food program weren't countries, they were private companies, and there were American companies involved too. Just like private companies like Halliburton are making profit from the Iraq war, and Bush and Cheney families have interests in them.

The news that Zimbabwe has been elected to chair this body tells you all you need to know about the credibility of the UN,its structures, and its continental bias.

You have a lot of nerve accusing the US of profiteering from Iraq Oil. The US has made it clear that the FREE FLOW of oil is an issue, but they have not taken over the industry, ( see Chavez, Venezuela ) . And for what it is worth much of the oil industry in the middle east was developed and funded by US interests in the first place, yet the US has insisted that oil profits go to the benifit of the free Iraqi people, not the re-imbursement of American investors. Making that happen seems to be problematic --thanks to those outsiders from Iran and Syria that do not want to see a free and prosperous Iraq. Time will tell wether or not the iraqi's want to see it. Thier country - thier oil.

Facts do not matter, just blame the US.

utter horsemanure.

Paul Bremer was in charrge of IRAQI Oil for Food money. Where did it go? ans no one knows.

the profits are going to US investors. If the US wanted a free and proserous Iraq, they would have it. Time for peace time to go.
