The president of USA has stated that he is going to support opposition groups in Iraq. To be expressed in other words USA is planning for a new military operation for further controlling of the Gulf oil area. There is no end in sight for the critical situation a the Gulf area. The Americans use to speak of terrorism. Of course, there are terrorists.
Local terrorists are among others the governments of Iraq and Turkey.
It is difficult to find any kind of rational sense for these aggressions. Of course, mass destruction weapons against civil population must be tested. To draw public awareness to this continuing war, as well as to show solidarity with the Iraqi people, the third Iraq Sanctions Challenge visited Iraq from Jan. 14 to 21, 2000. The delegation was be led by Ramsey Clark and other prominent leaders and included 100 anti-sanctions activists. There was a visible demonstration in Bagdad.
