Question

The following article was taken from http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/meast/09/18/vic.terror.iraq/index.html. At the end of the article, CNN tells us that "Iraq blames the United States for the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis as a result of U.N. economic sanctions imposed after the Gulf War."



Contrasting messages from Iraq on terror attacks

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- In a letter to a U.S. anti-sanctions group, Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz expressed "warm sympathies" over terrorist attacks that leveled the World Trade Center in New York and damaged the Pentagon in Washington, the official Iraqi News Agency reported Tuesday.

Aziz extended his condolences to the "victims of the incident of 11 September" in a letter addressed to Kathy Kelly, co-founder of Voices in the Wilderness.

"Through you, I extended my condolences to the families of the victims and especially the honorable American people who were in solidarity with the Iraqi people," it said.

The Aziz letter was in marked contrast to an open letter to Americans and Westerners and their governments from Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein that was read Saturday on Iraqi television.

In the letter, he criticized the United States and Arab rulers who "rushed to condemn the event" of Tuesday's terror attacks on New York and Washington.

"What happened on September 11, 2001, should be compared to what their government and their armies are doing in the world," the statement read, blaming the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis due to the blockage imposed by the United States and other Western nations.

"Americans should feel the pain they have inflicted on other peoples of the world, so as when they suffer they will find the right solution and the right path."

Iraq blames the United States for the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis as a result of U.N. economic sanctions imposed after the Gulf War.

So my question is that who are real victoms of terrorism?? but sadly there is no onw to take stand of weaks MIGHT IS GOD

Answer 1

If those 1.5 million people would have overthrown the government before they died, the war would not have been necessary, and they would be alive today. I think it was mass suicide for not doing anything to better their situation. Sadam brought the wrath of the world to his country, and the people allowed it to happen. 1.5 million deaths over the greed and instability of a dictator, that the Iraqi people allowed to stay in power. Yeah, Mass suicide.

Answer 2

Gee, I love this. You can get on here and make all sorts of wild statements, call Americans names, just flat get nasty. However, if I return the compliment by telling you what I think, I get zapped by Yahoo. Such a fun world.
