The UN and other agencies monitoring the distribution in Iraq have repeatedly praised the Iraqi officials for their fairness and efficiency given the circumstances. The problem is simple lack of supplies and unavailability of resources to efficiently distribute them. The world is responsible for the human suffering. Everyone who accepts the sanctions and chooses not to educate him or herself further should be held responsible. Those who fail to report the effects of the sanctions and encourage ignorance also should be held responsible.
Every person has the right and obligation to understand the world they live in.
This includes being aware of oppression and fighting to end it. When we remain complacent, we become part of the system that oppresses people. Also, the society that resorts to violence to solve its problems cannot ever rid itself of violence. Our economic system that drives people to deprive others so that we can have more than their share is also to blame. VitW has educated people about the sanctions.
