Oil for Terror

Sadly, you probably won't be reading about this in any of your major news outlets any time soon. However, it's very much worth a look. While it remains to be seen whether or not Saddam Hussein had an weapons of mass destruction, it appears that he indeed was bankrolling terrorism, including Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda, all under the supposedly watchful eye of Kofi Annan and the U.N.

All of this makes a person wonder: If George W. Bush's reasons for going to war in Iraq are dubious, does it really matter what those reasons are now that Saddam's deposed? If so, does it matter if we compare it to John Kerry's view that we should get the U.N.'s permission for everything first, the same U.N. that was so watchful of Saddam in the first place?
