The point of sanctions is to cause death and suffering to mostly women and children in order to put 'pressure' on Saddam. Of course Saddam has no 'pressure' since he lives like a king. The sanctions are nothing more then US fostered State Terrorism. This is 'collective punishment' that is a form terrorism defined as a war crime by the Nuremburg Tribunal. Not only do sanctions not work - they cause the dictator to blame all problems on the sanctions. Dictators like Saddam and Castro love sanctions because it makes the US the enemy and the cause of all domestic problems. Bin Ladin loves sanctions - they are a big part of his anti US strategy in the Middle East - just as Bin Laden is rubbing his hands in glee over the imminent US invasion of Iraq. The current gang of NeoCons who run DC must be taking lessons in stupidity. flw <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
