    Well, from TV news I understand the sanctions had nothing to do with the
    regime but with the WMD. Supposedly Russia is set to veto UN votes to
    remove the sanctions unless it can be proved Iraq has no WMD. This would
    force the U.S. to prove a negative if there actually are no WMD in Iraq.
    It's all quite hilarious really.

    BTW here's another fun article on the trotskyist zionist neocons:
