The truth nevertheless is that the horredous sanctions on Iraq have killed about 1.4 million human beings, and regardless of any excuses or justifications, and whether one is with or against the Iraqi regime, intentionally killing so many civilians can't be but a criminal act under any secular or religious code. It is clear therefore that to stop the death of innocent Iraqis, we can't rely on the mercy or 'humanity' of the West. We as individuals and as groups have a moral obligation to push our Arab and Islamic organizations to do more on Iraq, even when they are good and active already on the issue, as long as the sanctions are in place. Press releases are not enough. We need to mobilize, organize, write, and speak out to generate tremendous grass roots pressure to produce tangible results and stronger stances against the death machine of sanctions.
Every little action counts.
