Iraqi Minister Scolds U.N. for Inaction Regarding Hussein

Iraqi Minister Scolds U.N. for Inaction Regarding Hussein [1]:

“UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 16 — Iraq’s foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, accused the United Nations Security Council today of having failed to help rescue his country from Saddam Hussein, and he chided member states for bickering over his beleaguered country’s future.”

Settling scores with the United States-led coalition should not be at the cost of helping to bring stability to the Iraqi people,” Mr. Zebari said in language unusually scolding for an occupant of the guest seat at the end of the curving Security Council table.

“Squabbling over political differences takes a back seat to the daily struggle for security, jobs, basic freedoms and all the rights the U.N. is chartered to uphold,” he said.

Gee. Do you think they’ll pay attention to the message?
