#1 âWhile many aspects of living conditions in Iraq in 2004 are dismal, most reflect the courage, endurance and determination of the Iraqi people to overcome the hurdles they are facing,â Staffan de Mistura, the UN Deputy Special Representative for Humanitarian, Reconstruction and Development Affairs, said at the ceremony to launch the three-volume survey.

Chief hurdle being the UN.

I bet were Kofi and all his buddies were to return the money stolen from the Iraqi people during OFF, we wound't be having more UN buddies trying to skew statistics to cover their own asses.
