DESCRIPTION:For over a decade, the people of Iraq have suffered human rights violations 
 imposed on them through sanctions sponsored by the US Government and 
 oppression by their own leader Saddam Hussein.\n\nUNICEF (United Nations 
 Children's Fund) recently stated that over 500,000 Iraqi children have died 
 due to malnourshment and disease related to sanctions.  Instances of 
 childhood leukemia have skyrocketed since the Persian Gulf War after the US 
 dropped bombs made with depleted uranium.  Chemotherapy is not available to 
 the majority of children.\n\nNow, the US Government is threatening to 
 escalate the offensive against Iraq with a new bombing campaign.  This will 
 inevitable result in the deaths of many civilians who are already in a 
 desperate condition.  Come hear two experts speak about why the US policy 
 against Iraq is unnecessary and what people of ocnscience in the United 
 States can do to stop it.\n\nPaul George, Director of the Peninsula Peace & 
 Justice Center and member of Nation Network to End the War Against 
 Iraq\n\nMahmood Suleiman, former member of the UN World Health Organization 
 working in Iraq and in touch with family members in Iraq.\n\n$0-$10 sliding
