Dear Sama, How can you be in good faith? You must know of the effects of sanctions on your country and yet you echo the US/UK govt's utterly discredited position on sanctions. (ie it's all Saddam's fault). Deliberately misrepresenting the facts about the sanctions does not make an unconvincing pro war argument any stronger.
