Hi - Rahul Mahajan and Robert Jensen's analysis of the enhanced sanctions proposal is the first I have seen which voices what I have felt from day one - again for what it is worth - not so much a bid for public opinion, damage limitation excercise, the real aim, I suggest, with all this talk of tightening neighbouring borders and preventing all the 'leaks' means an enormously increased US foothold in the region. The words are 'more UN monitors' on the borders. Remember UNSCOM? Like them in reality I suspect it'll be US dominance of the Middle East - a stated aim for decades - in another guise. Paranoid? Just watch! best. felcity a. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a discussion list run by the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq For removal from list, email soc-casi-discuss-request@lists.cam.ac.uk Full details of CASI's various lists can be found on the CASI website: http://www.casi.org.uk
