Lets end economic sanctions against Iraq and let the children of Iraq live. After the fall of the Soviet Union, We undermined the federal government of Yugoslavia by cutting off international credits, while giving credits to some member states. This resulted in renewed ethnic struggles after 45 years of relative peace and cooperation among Yugoslavia's diverse ethnic groups. NATO intervened in these struggles against Serbia, causing widespread environmental destruction by bombing the Pancevo petrochemical complex and using depleted uranium weapons, which poison the land for the foreseeable future. Our current military intervention in Columbia is already an environmental and human rights disaster.
Lets stop now before it gets even worse.
A wasteful defense is a weak defense. We must also resolve never again to use weapons of mass destruction, including depleted uranium weapons, landmines and cluster bombs. We must stop targeting civilians and the environment, work for meaningful arms reduction, and bring an end to the arms trade.
