We should withdraw from these treaties, and negotiate international agreements which respect labor, the environment and national sovereignty. We intervened in the Iran-Iraq war, giving Saddam Hussein chemical weapons capabilities to use against Iran. After he used the weapons we gave him to invade Kuwait, we destroyed Iraq s environment and the entire civilian infrastructure. Through economic sanctions, we prevented the Iraqis from rebuilding. We are directly responsible for the death of 600,000 Iraqi children under five years of age.
Lets end economic sanctions against Iraq now.
Our current military intervention in Columbia is already an environmental and human rights disaster. Lets stop now before it gets even worse. And much more.
