IRAQ

Scoop:Seeing the Iraqi People

It would be impossible for me to overstate or exaggerate the
devastation that has been imposed on Iraq, and the most troubling, consistent, and
unacceptable reason for this devastation has been the failure of the
international community, over long decades, to see the Iraqi people.
International policy toward Iraq has never been made with the desires
and interests of the Iraqi people at heart, and our advocacy today is just
as blind.

Opposition slogans such as "End the Occupation Now!," or "Bring Our
Troops Home," may be emotionally satisfying, but - like our governments'
policies - our protests at home reflect little on the reality of daily life in
Iraq.
