The 'National Catholic Reporter' recently devoted a cover story to the
effect of sanctions in Iraq: http://www.natcath.com/public/052199a.htm.
This lengthy piece ("Iraq: for the children, sanctions are deadlier than the
bombs") was written by Tom Roberts, the Reporter's Managing Editor. An
ill-informed response to this article (by Charles Davis) has now been
eloquently rebutted by Simon Harak, S.J., at
http://www.nonviolence.org/vitw/pages/72.htm.
The articles by Roberts and Harak are both well-researched, and provide a
suitable backdrop to the Pope's eagerly awaited visit to Iraq. Thank you,
NCR, for your attention.
