Whenever you see the humiliation to which ordinary Iraqis are subjected (and we see only a tiny proportion on our TV screens), can there be any doubt that the 'coalition' sees things from it own - assumed superior - perspective? Substitute a New York or London crowd - or child, or grandmother or householder - in your minds and ask yourself how the occupiers' behaviours would be different. A wise Sierra Leonean once said that the international community are not really concerned about the Sierra Leonean people, but only in keeping things just calm enough in that country to enable them to extract its wealth. Substitute Iraq for Sierra Leone and the same applies. Cathy -- Cathy Aitchison _______________________________________________ Sent via the discussion list of the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
