Iraq Back at the Brink

by Ramzy Baroud on 19-02-2013

Soon after the joint US-British bombing campaign “Operation Desert Fox” devastated parts of Iraq in December 1998 , I was complaining to a friend in the lobby of the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad.



When Madeleine Albright asked in May 1996 about the death of half a million Iraqi children as a result of UN sanctions, she said: "we think the price is worth it." By "it" she meant US interests, propping US hegemony, and preparing for regional military action.


De illegale oorlog geleid door de Amerikaans-Britse "Coalition of the Willing’ is - volgens de principes van Nurenberg - een misdaad tegen de vrede. Dergelijke oorlog moet, volgens het internationaal recht, juridische gevolgen hebben voor de agressors zodat de rechten van de slachtoffers gerespecteerd worden. Het International Anti-Occupation Network ( IAON) roept daarom iedereen op in 2024 mee te werken aan deze campagne: VERANTWOORDING EN RECHTVAARDIGHEID VOOR IRAK.
