Now that the UN has blessed the crime, even our opposition had no scruples about becoming subcontractors to the gang in Iraq. They are sending a troop of 300 soon, to carry out 'transporting and humanitarian tasks'. Not a vote against, not a single abstention. There was a heated argument in which the goverment side blamed the opposition for postponing their amen up to now, and the opposition retorting that they were right in waiting for the UN to take the initiative. It's all so miserable... 'This is a unique opportunity to play a role in shaping a new world order, and it would be not a mistake but a crime to miss it', said the ex-communist minister of defense. Could he be any baser than that? However hard it is in a world like this, we should keep up our spirits. Best, Attila Budapest _______________________________________________ Sent via the discussion list of the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
