We allow a certain amount of Iraqi oil to be sold for food and medicine. In addition Iraqi has side stepped this program and sold additional oil. Saddam decided to spend the money on things other than medicine, such as continuing to build Palaces. It is Saddam allowing his people to die, no one else.
