Bush's Crumbling Authority in Iraq Now No One is Safe
But in reality, yesterday's attack was against the United States. Proves that no foreign organisation--no NGO, no humanitarian organisation, no investor, no businessman--can expect to be safe under America's occupation rule.
The UN Bombing Act of Terrorism or Guerrilla Warfare?
The IMF and World Bank are rackets designed by immoral bankers and loan sharks to rape the Third World. The United Nations is essentially a handmaiden of the IMF, World Bank, and the United States. So, from the point of view of many Iraqis, the lightly protected UN complex in Baghdad was an appropriate target, as were the main northern oil export pipeline into Turkey and warehouses scattered around Baghdad.
Lest we forget:

Who Wants to Go to Iraq Now?
What United Nations nation would ever contemplate sending peacekeeping troops to Iraq now? The men who are attacking the United States' occupation army are ruthless, but they are not stupid. They know that President Bush is getting desperate, that he will do anything -- that he may even go to the dreaded Security Council for help -- to reduce U.S. military losses in Iraq.
Baghdad Bomb
The Dream Of Empire Is Exploding In 0ur Faces
The bomb blast that blew up UN headquarters in Baghdad should have pulverized the smug complacency of the Washington policy wonks who openly hail the rise of an American Empire – but I doubt it made much more than a small dent.
Why the UN is a target
The UN might therefore have been seen by the Iraqi resistance as an instrument of the United States and Britain in their occupation of the country.

The UN bombing:
a product of the US occupation of Iraq
The purpose of the US-led invasion was not to bring "self-government and peace" but to loot the economy, particularly the country’s huge oil reserves. Much of the limited and decaying physical and social infrastructure that existed under the previous regime has been destroyed, leaving masses of people without jobs, basic services and essentials such as electricity, water and adequate food.
