re: Speaking of Protectionism

Writes Carol Watson: “I just have to add another tidbit to your excellent observation of why the Iraqis may be a bit ticked off at the UN: the UN did not stop the invasion and occupation of its member nation, Iraq, by the US/UK. You will note how quickly (relatively speaking) the UN bolstered its forces to toss Iraq out of Kuwait a decade ago, and now sits by impotently mouthing platitudes while Iraq has been invaded and occupied. In their place, that would upset me royally as well. Thanks for your wonderful blog and all its participants.”
