�Iraq and the Betrayal of a People � Impunity Forever?�

by Hans Christof von Sponeck on 20-02-2013

Iraq�s recent history includes two far reaching events, on the 2 August 1990 Iraq�s invasion into Kuwait and on 19 March 2003 the US/UK invasion into Iraq. Whether political leaders will draw lessons from these events will be, at best, questionable. Iraqis continue to be wronged. Danger to life and turmoil remain a cruel part of Iraq�s reality in early 2013. The collective suffering of a nation is visibly all pervasive. It can not be hidden.
