It sure doesn't help that we have sanctions which deny the Iraqis a lot of supplies they need... but the majority of the blame is on the regime, just like North Korea (but not nearly as bad as it is there). Even with the sanctions, if the regimes had wanted to feed their people and get good medical supplies they could... but funding the army is more important to them, so they don't care... especially in North Korea. Lots of people there starve to death while they pump money into a million man army...
