Cortright, David | December 3, 2001 issue

add to cart   close window

The humanitarian disaster resulting from sanctions against Iraq has been frequently cited as a factor that motivated the September 11 terrorist attacks in the U.S. Islamic fundamentalist Osama Bin Laden himself mentioned the Iraq sanctions in a recent tirade against the U.S. Critics of US policy in Iraq claim that sanctions have killed more than a million people, many of them children. Changing American policy in Iraq is an urgent priority, both for humanitarian reasons and as a means of addressing an intensely felt political grievance against the U.S.
