Interesting. Tony Blair's speech to the people of the UK the other day
mentioned that Iraq's oil money would be placed in a UN account and
distributed for the benefit of "the Iraqi people". I wonder what that
means.

I kind of suspected this is where the US administration is going to
"punish" its closest critics in the UN. I wonder if the Russian and French
contracts will be scuttled...

I think this relates to the Bush administration's general federal policy,
now being applied with international consequences?
