Saddam's decision to put playing games higher on the list of priorities than disarming is unfortunate. I wish he would comply and avoid war, sparing the Iraqi people.

Do you have a link handy where we could donate some money to the Iraqi children fund...? (I'm not being a smart ass, I'm serious).

Fake Funerals and Child Torture

Osama bin Laden justified the 11 September attack on America by referring to a million dead Iraqi children - killed by sanctions. In a John Sweeney BBC report aired June 22, 2002, it was shown that Saddam has staged mass funerals for dead children. Because there are not enough dead babies around, Taxi drivers are ordered to collect dead children throughout Iraq, stored, by decree, in home freezers for six to seven months and just in time for the staged mass funerals replete with English signs on their coffins (for the western media). Hospital morgues collect dead bodies of children, holding them for the Saddam ordered processions, preventing parents from burying infants immediately, in the Muslim tradition, to create more powerful propaganda.

Even worse, the report details child torture by Saddam's regime. The most chilling witness was one of Saddam's torturers, who was captured spying against the Kurds this year. 'Kamal' told us: 'They would bring the son in front of his parents, who were handcuffed or tied, and would start off with simple methods of torture, such as cigarette burns. Then they started using other methods of torture, more serious ones.

'They would tell the father that they'd slaughter his son, and they'd bring a bayonet out, and if the parents didn't confess they'd kill the child. 'The interrogator has the right to kill the child, or perform any other butchery, whatever's necessary.' And then Kamal chuckled.

There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein , like many other leaders in many other countries, is a very bad man.

However, the world is not ruled by the USA and it has no authority to attack any country as it pleases.

Do you understand that?

I wouldn't want the world ruled by the USA, we have plenty of problems at home to solve in the coming years.

The United States and allies will be delivering the consequences for repeated failure to disarm under the Cease Fire agreement that ended aggression following the liberation of Kuwait. This will not be a pre-empted strike like so many would like to believe, the Cease Fire agreement was only signed because the Iraqi government agreed to comply with the United Nations and disarm. They have used a 12 year campaign of deception to do anything but the sort.

Today, the Bush administration has shown its contempt for these elements of international order. It has rejected treaties and international law that it views as constraining U.S. freedom of action, abandoning the Kyoto protocol on greenhouse gasses and the International Criminal Court. It has withdrawn from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and shown a disdain for arms control in general. Most significantly, though, Bush advocates the use American power to capitalize on American military preeminence outside any international body. Bush prefers coalitions of the willing instead of a war by committee. This represents a concentration of international power unseen in over a century. This is why the French and Germans are upset about Iraq. They are not concerned about Iraq for Iraq's sake – they fear that the Bush administration is emaciating the international order that has ensured global peace for 58 years.

Nothing more than a column that reaks of personal opinion, good information though. I didn't need to look much deeper than the publications mission and a couple articles to see they clearly have a hidden adjenda.

Oh I think their agenda is fairly clear.

Good to see alternative viewpoints can still be accessed by americans.

You're giving Americans too much credit, remember there are still those that think just because they read it, it's truth. I get your point.

UNICEF field surveys show dramatic increase in infant, child and maternal deaths all over Iraq due to prolonged sanctions.


The First field surveys since 1991 of infant, child and maternal mortality carried out by UNICEF with the technical support of the World Health Organization (WHO) reveal that children under five are dying at more than twice the rate they were before the imposition of the comprehensive sanctions on Iraq more than nine years ago. The surveys were carried out between February and May 1999.

The survey reveal that under-5 mortality more than doubled from 56 deaths per 1000 live births (1984-1989) to 131 deaths per 1000 live births (1994-1999). Likewise infant mortality- defined as the death of children in their first year- increased from 47 per 1000 live births to 108 per 1000 live births within the same time-frame. The surveys indicate a maternal mortality ratio of 294 deaths per 100,000 live births over the ten-year period 1989-1999.

The Executive Director of UNICEF, Ms. Carol Bellamy, commenting on the outcome of the filed surveys, says that there would have been half a million fewer deaths of children under five in the country as a whole during the period 1991 to 1998 if the prolonged sanctions were not imposed on Iraq.

The UNICEF report clearly blames sanctions for the killing of more than half a million Iraqi children under five. Sanction combined with the use of Depleted Uranium by the U.S and the U.K during their aggression has killed more than a million Iraqi in other age categories; mainly women and elderly people, and destroyed the social fabric of Iraqi society. It is high time to put an end to this genocide, which is perpetuated in the name of the United Nations. The International Community should tell the United States and Britain that they could no longer tolerate the continuation of this crime against humanity.
