of course they intentionally punished the iraqi people by putting an embargo on ALL their necessities to live. did this hurt saddam one iota? HELL NO!! instead we killed off hundreds of thousands of civilians and they continue to die every day as we speak while saddam is living the high life in one of his lush palaces. so are the ones who imposed these sanctions guilty of killing innocent civilians? HELL YES!! it's amazing how leaders of this world (and the ones who pull the strings) have such blackened hearts and how they are numb to all the atrocities to innocent human lives that they are responsible for (whether directly or indirectly). we cry about the holocaust (and rightfully so) but we have turned our backs on similar genocides (bosnia, iraq, etc) in the past decade. have we really learned our lessons? fuc* no!

c3.org The most common method of making chlorine is by passing an electric current through a saltwater solution. The solution separates into chlorine and two other useful products: sodium hydroxide -- also known as caustic soda or lye -- and hydrogen. Any idea why Iraq can't make as much chlorine as they need for water purification? Are they missing electric current or salt water? Something seems fishy about this story.

The Palestinians must be getting desperate. They depended upon Israel's economy for jobs and a better standard of living. But, the greedy Palestinians wanted it all. They wanted to steal everything that Israeli's had, so they turned down a great peace proposal, that would give the Palestinians their own, prosperous state. The terrorist attacks are picking up because the Palestinians are losing their war of greed and terror. The most important question of all: Why did the Palestinians turn down peace, their own state, economic assistance from Israel and from the world, and a much better life and future for all Palestinians and Israelis? Was it just blind racist or religious hatred? Was it also jealousy and greed? Were the Palestinians willing to throw their own childrens' futures away just because of blind hatred for Jews? The answer is probably YES to all the above questions.
