The BBC reports on the end of the United Nations' oil-for-food program for Iraq:

The United Nations is to formally end the biggest aid scheme of its history, the oil-for-food programme which helped keep an estimated six out of 10 Iraqis alive during the last years of Saddam Hussein's regime.
Perhaps the U.N. realized Bush adminstration's Bullets-for-Baathists program was likely to keep a much higher percentage of Iraqis alive in the coming years.
