Don't trick or treat Saddam
Article Abstract:
The Iraqi opposition has met in New York in Oct 1999, as the Iraqi National Congress (INC). The INC has some support from the US, but this is largely symbolic, with little commitment in terms of funds. The INC is not seen as a serious alternative government for Iraq, though it is seen as a way of causing concern to Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein. Economic sanctions against Iraq, have hit ordinary Iraqis, and this has not been ameliorated by the oil-for-food program, which is in need of reform.

Article Abstract:
US missile raids on Iraq were justified to stop Saddam Hussein's intervention between Kurdish factions, if not technically legal. However, Hussein has not attacked any other nation, and America must not overreact. The humanitarian oil-for-food and medical supplies deal should be allowed to progress.
