As a result, U.N. sanctions have been placed upon Iraq and no such action will occur against Israel. (The United States and Great Britain have also continued the Gulf War, by periodic bombings of Iraq, but this is being done without U.N. approval.)
Representatives of the U.N. and Iraq have just concluded a series of discussions, which are expected to be resumed in June. The discussions are intended to find a way of resuming inspections and ending sanctions.
Similar discussions may eventually result in an inspection of Jenin, but by then, whatever results are obtained will be meaningless, since all the evidence in support of either the Israeli or Palestinian positions will be gone. Bodies cannot wait, although factories may.
Ariel Sharon has given the moral victory to the Palestinians.
If the United States and Great Britain cannot wait until Kofi Annan concludes his negotiations with Saddam Hussein, the moral victory will go to Saddam Hussein.
Negotiations and inspections may be difficult, but so is morality – or so it seems.
