UN Wants Weapons Inspectors in Iraq. Iraq said a new round of talks with the United Nations got off to a good start Wednesday but it was still pushing a broad agenda including U.S. threats to topple Saddam Hussein [~] not just the return of U.N. weapons inspectors. [AP World News]
Any bets that this story will develop into a headline grabber in time? No doubt the US is already working behind the scenes to keep inspectors out: otherwise the moral 'justification' for deposing Saddam Hussein will be forfeited.

Annan Decision Met With Regret by UN. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan planned to disband on Thursday a fact-finding team that he had hoped would answer serious questions about Israel's attack on the Jenin refugee camp, leaving a divided Security Council groping for a response. [AP World News]
A sad and sorry episode. So Ariel Sharon got away with total disregard for the declared wishes of the US and successfully fended off an international investigation into what really happened in Jenin. It is disgraceful that this should be allowed to happen. Strengthened by this success, who knows what he'll get up to next. This man is evil!
