> Sir, United Nations officials working in Iraq seem to have a shorter
> career span than most football managers ("UN food chief for Iraq resigns",
> February 16). How many more of these dedicated international officials
> will have to resign, sacrificing their personal careers, before it is
> finally acknowledged by the US and even our own government that the
> sanctions policy on Iraq is ineffective, strengthens Saddam Hussein and
> his friends, while condemning the average Iraqi to a life of misery that
> has lasted over nine years?
