Directions to AEI

Over the past few months, congressional and Central Intelligence Agency inquiries have unveiled the magnitude of the United Nations Oil-for-Food scandal. The Congressional Subcommittee on Investigations estimates that Saddam Hussein's government illicitly siphoned $21.3 billion from the program, roughly twice as much as originally estimated. Hussein used the funds to purchase weapons, to pay off foreign businessmen and politicians and, according to the House Committee on International Relations, to reward terrorist sympathizers. Numerous officials from the United Nations and from foreign governments and businesses have been implicated in the scandal. Who, ultimately, will be deemed responsible for the scandal? What can we learn from it? How will it affect the future of the United Nations and its relationship with the United States? Please join AEI for a panel discussion that will address these and other questions.
