So > I could not disagree more. It is a virtual lock that the USA will use Iraqi lands to further their agro businesses. If we are to work against/for this, we need to be informed. By the time we find out that the crops are planted the potential damage could already be done. (or not) It would be prudent to exhaust the topic and determine whether or not we wish to write to the governments of the USuk and ask for public debate on this prior to the introduction of GMO's into Iraq. Why in the world would list members complain about an issue that offers them the opportunity to become educated about a "new" topic when they could simply exercise their constitutional rights to hit the delete button. If it is really bothering you guys/gals that much, use your middle finger to depress the key.
