Only two weeks ago Douglas Hurd confirmed that no money will be unfrozen for any purpose whatsoever. The governments also bureaucratically prevent or delay the import of goods which are meant to be allowed into Iraq.

The regimes in the neighbouring countries are not any better than that in Iraq, but there are no sanctions against those people.
Democracy is a fig leaf that they can wave when they like.
