Remember when we found out that the UN's Oil For Food program was full of corruption and everybody thought we couldn't trust the UN to manage anything?

We'll we've been in control of Iraq now for over 4 years and it looks like sneaky people in Iraq have managed to slip oil past us too...

I have the same reaction when I remember the U.S. criticizing Columbia for not cracking down on their illegal drug production. We've been in control of Afganistan now for over 4 years too and opium production has skyrocketed under our watch.

I suppose if we weren't already in Afganistan, we'd be threatening them to clean up their drug trade or face invasion.

What gives?
