> "We are destroying an entire society.  It is as simple and terrifying as

>-Denis Halliday, former UN coordinator of the Oil-for-Food Program and Nobel
>Peace Prize nominee
>
>On 6 August 1990, the UN Security Council imposed a near total embargo on
>Iraq, the most comprehensive sanctions in modern history.  Today those
>sanctions continue to kill innocent Iraqis while undermining the pillars
>of civil society.  And since December 1998 the Iraqi people have faced
>regular bombing by American and British warplanes.  Numerous sources
>estimate the death toll of sanctions and bombing to be over one million.
>
>In response, a broad coalition of organizations and concerned individuals
>will converge on Washington, DC this August 6* to demand an end to this
>economic and military war carried out by the United States through the
>United Nations.  Our message is clear and direct: "Lift the economic
>sanctions, stop the bombing!"
