Well I appear to be rambling but I don't apologise for getting defensive here. People are interested in Iraq nowdays but long before any of the recent events, the sanctions on Iraq were my top political agenda. The death toll as a result of those sanctions was at over one million. I'm not making **** up, it just doesn't reach the mainstream news. Governments don't want you to know that their blockades prevent basic, cheap medical supplies reaching the children who are diseased because of other enforcements on their nation.

OK: let me ask you this: is there any reason why the US SHOULD continue? Is there any reason why AUSTRALIA for instance couldnt jump in and be generous? WHY should America constantly be badmouthed for not supplying food or medicine? God knows we need it here at home, but we are the biggest supplier of Red Cross/Goodwill/Care packages/$$$$/bailing out failed foreign governments and ON and ON and ON
The way I see it, we need to help our OWN people FIRST. I find it disgusting that you can make such a self-righteous proclamation about how America starved people or allowed the sick to die, when NO OTHER NATION jumped into the void. PUH LEEEEEZ.
