Dear All, By the time your have read this email one child (POSSIBLY MORE)
will have died in Iraq as a result of the sanctions being imposed on the
country by the USA and UN. We need to stop the senseless killing. Last
night I saw for the second time the John Pilger Film - Paying the Price -
Killing the Children of Iraq, which is devastating to say the
least. Children are dying of radiation poisoning, cancer (from
bombs/weapons dropped in Iraq), from starvation, poor sanitary conditions,
lack of water, medical and pharmaceutical drugs which will save them from
dying from preventable diseases. Please add your voice to the protests on
August 3 and come along to the to stop the sanctions rallies and help save
the people of Iraq. In solidarity, Kim B
