<<I wrote a longish reply which I accidentally erased. Argh :-)>> Just as well - this is a conversation that should be wrapped up rather than expounded. <<...there ARE credible sources ...and others (bloggers, etc)>> ...Bloggers as credible sources??!!? <<Re "infant mortality in Iraq" - Sorry but no. Take a look at this:>> No? First you cite 700k deaths which I pointed out was a questionable number and then you come back with a report that drops the deaths to 500k. And if you read the report, it does not blame the increased in mortality just on the sanctions. So the sanctions contribution is going to be less than 500k. All of which makes my point. I can sit here all day long and pick away at each and every detail and assumption that goes into the 700k number or into the 500k number. ...But in the end those details are only trees in a forest. And in this case the forest is made up of hundreds of thousands of children who died because of the impact of the sanctions. And that is what is important.

The Arab media has done an excellent job covering the Nobel Peace prize win of Shirin Ebadi, lol. I haven't been able to find mention of it anywhere on-line in the Arab press. But I have read... The official television station of the Palestinian Authority has begun broadcasting a video clip depicting the destruction of Israel and its replacement by a Palestinian state stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reports. PMW Director Itamar Marcus said the clip, which was broadcast twice within the past week, demonstrates that PA TV "continues to promote and glorify violence." The video shows hands clutching stones springing up at various points on a map of Israel, he said, followed by the Palestinian flag emerging and covering the entire area of the Jewish state. jpost.com If the desire is to destroy Israel, there cannot be a workable peace plan.
