LONDON, Feb 20 (1998)(Reuters) - Ten years after Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons against his own people in the town of Halabja, the survivors are the victims of an appalling genetic legacy, a British television team has found. As fears grow that the Iraqi leader may use his chemical arsenal in the event of U.S.-led strikes against him, the people of Halabja bear witness to the long term effects of such weapons on a civilian population. Journalist Gwynne Roberts, who went to Halabja in 1988 after 5,000 people died when they were bombed in a mustard gas and nerve agent attack, revisited the town in January to find out what happened to the survivors. In a documentary "Saddam's Secret Timebomb" to be broadcast on Britain's Channel Four television on Monday, he found that those mostly Kurdish survivors had paid a terrible price.
Yes. And you know, "Jeezus" is actually a prophet in your beloved Islam too. Only his name is spelled J-e-s-u-s. I do hope that the Iraqi people get freedom out of the deal. I'd like for us to set up a structure, a parliamentary system, observe elections, and get the hell out. But we will have to take those Saddam statues with us
Picknclick said : I do hope that the Iraqi people get freedom out of the deal" Not if Msfe can help it. freealways
"freedom" is secured - Rumsfeld has democratically (s)elected [one man, one vote] an American military dictator for the "liberated" good people of Iraq.
American values and idealism are alive and well in Iraq (and spreading, thank you). Why do you think the MFs (Muslim Fundamentalists) from Iran are trying to infiltrate the Iraqi people? As another poster has explained, American values and idealism are a threat to the small group of people who want to stay in power; the Muslim clerics of Iran. Their Mullah based regime is in deep trouble already from exposure to American values and idealism.
