The sanctions and bombing with all the untold suffering, the humiliation, the killing of innocent women, children and the elderly must stop. Both the sanctions and the bombing violate the Geneva Conventions which outlaw attacks on civilians. It is wrong to attack the civilian population of a country as a method to oppose the regime in power as NATO did in Yugoslavia and as the U.S. and Britain are now doing in Iraq. U.S. citizens, please write to your Congressmen and Senators, to your Governor and to President Clinton demanding that the U.S. drop its genocidal sanctions against Iraq.
Handwritten letters are best.
Write letters to the editors of newspapers or to Internet web sites. Communicate with as many people as possible. Music is a powerful way to communicate a message. There I was, in the middle of one of many arbitrary 'lift sanctions' appeals to none other than my own boss. She obviously missed the part when I talked about the 2,000,000 women, elderly, and children who have died silently in what I refer to as the 'Arab Holocaust'.
