Typed & delivered last night (whilst burning the midnight oil!): to 'The Guardian', letters page. B.G. Dear Sir, During the Gulf War, the Iraqi people were decieved by their Western friends; having first been encouraged to arise against the Iraqi regime, whereupon the West turned it's back, causing untold destruction to those who had folowed the clarion call. Since then, throughout some eleven years, Iraqis have suffered constant low-level bombings and sanctions. Many thousands have perished, not least the most vulnerable. The infrastructure of Iraq is largely destroyed. A Middle East 'expert', ex-correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, now advocates further warfare against Iraq, she believes this would be (sic) helpful to the people. Think again, Geraldine! To 'The Guardian': Your standards are slipping! Sincerely, Bert Gedin, Birmingham, U.K. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 CASI's website - www.casi.org.uk - includes an archive of all postings.
