<...Uday believes that as the eldest son, he deserves to be Saddam’s heir apparent. But one U.S. official said “that isn’t going to happen.”
Still, officials said, his black-market operations bring the family more than $100 million a month in illicit income outside the controls of the U.N. sanctions committee. It is that money that is used to pay off loyalists, build palaces and provide security for the Iraqi president and his family.
Anyone else have anything to say about "sanctions" starving the people of Iraq? Even if that $100 million is off by a factor of 10.
