IRAQ, Why Continue the Tragedy?

For over a decade, the people of Iraq have suffered human rights violations imposed on them through sanctions sponsored by the US Government and oppression by their own leader Saddam Hussein. UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) recently stated that over 500,000 Iraqi children have died due to malnourshment and disease related to sanctions. Instances of childhood leukemia have skyrocketed since the Persian Gulf War after the US dropped bombs made with depleted uranium. Chemotherapy is not available to the majority of children. Now, the US Government is threatening to escalate the offensive against Iraq with a new bombing campaign. This will inevitable result in the deaths of many civilians who are already in a desperate condition. Come hear two experts speak about why the US policy against Iraq is unnecessary and what people of ocnscience in the United States can do to stop it.
