Iraq isn't part of the UN, so the juristictions it has been put under (many of which only make the people suffer, and do nothing to weaken Saddam Hussein's iron clutch) are forced. I believe their army shouldn't be allowed to hold a paintball gun, but that's pretty much my estimation of millitary in general. Before you go pointing fingers, I should remind you that the US haven't been to forthcoming in UN issues concerning such things as Human Rights.
