For the past seven years Iraq has been subject to a regime imposed by the United Nations Security Council. Much of Iraq's threadbare welfare services are operated by officials of the United Nations Children's Fund. The government of president Saddam Hussein does not even have control over Iraqi territory.
Allied forces operate a 'no-fly zone' over Northern Iraq, barring any flights by Iraqi aircraft.
Allied military personnel have been ensconced in autonomous Kurdish regions. Troops from Turkey, a Nato ally, have invaded northern Iraq on numerous occasions, most recently in February to create a 'buffer zone'. A team of UN 'Weapons Inspectors', mostly former military personnel, demand free access to every Iraqi building in their search for 'weapons of mass destruction'. That is the real world. In the fantasy world occupied by Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, however, Iraq is the greatest threat on Earth, poised to kill the entire population of the planet before invading Israel, Kuwait and everywhere else.
