So who's fault is it that the sanctions on Iraq didn't work, Saddam, who was bribing foreign officials and engaged in international smuggling, or the corporations and (bribed) foreign officials who allowed it to happen. Seems that if you want an embargo to be effective on a state, you have to enforce it. It does no good if a state imposes sanctions, and then it's officials and companies ignore them.
Do sanctions even work? Iraqi's starve, Saddam makes 11 Billion? Something doesn't make sense here.
