''As it condemns this illegal and unwarranted conduct, the government of Iraq calls upon the United Nations to put an end to unacceptable Kuwaiti practices whose only objective is to tighten the grip of the unjust embargo that is being maintained against the Iraqi people in violation of all humanitarian standards and values.''

These guys are just plain assholes. Have they ever officially apologized to the Kuwaiti people for the unneighborly savagery committed against them by Iraq? These are the same people whose army had a soldier stab a pregnant Kuwaiti woman in the belly with a bayonet at the entrance to a hospital. And they're talking now of "humanitarian standards and values" because some ships carrying food for them are being searched to assure compliance with cease-fire resolutions? Yawn. fire the mortars, fred.
