Independent Argument
Now Bush Jnr implies that the UN will also be debris if it doesn't come to heel and follow America's demand to invade Iraq. He wants to use it for his project of "regime change" – which will change the map of the Middle East, produce a tide of oil wealth for US companies and reduce Israel's enemies to impotence. We are supposed to believe that this is about weapons of mass destruction – and forget that the US sold botulinum toxin, anthrax and vials of West Nile virus to Iraq between 1985 and 1989. For most of that time, Iraq was fighting Iran – a war which the UN had tried to end.
