The UN is as powerless to stop Russia selling weapons to Iraq as it is to stop America selling them to Nicuruaga, or to stop the UK supporting Pinnochet in Chile.
I don't think it is really news to be honest, all the superpowers sell weapons to anyone that will buy them - although the fact that Iraqi's had Russian weapons is no proof of anything - lots of people have Russian weapons and they easily could have been sold them by a second party.
But why shouldnt Russia arm Saddam Hussain? Are you trying to claim that the UK or US or France never has?
Someone showed an article on here before that said they had even bought Brazilian weapons.
