Before talking about bombing Iraq, we should ask a few questions:

1 Why are medical drip packs, water-treatment equipment and wheelbarrows banned by sanctions?
2 Why has the UK been involved in bombing Iraq longer than the US was bombing Vietnam?
3 Why are Turkish planes allowed to bomb the kurds in the no-fly zone?
4 Why is Israel allowed to remain in breach of over 60 UN resolutions?
5 Why is Israel permitted to have WMDs, attack it own civilian population with military force, disenfranchise huge sections of its own population, and operate an apartheid state apparently without UN concern?
6 Why did the US arm both Iraq and Iran during the Russian invasion of the Afghanistan?
7 Why is Iraq more of a threat than Pakistan?
8 Why did the US support the dictatorship in Indonesia?

Any serious look at these questions make it blatantly obvious that business is running the agenda in the middle east. The history of the region is all about looking after the interests of the oil companies. Who put Saddam Hussein in power? Who protects the Saud family in Saudi? Just have a retrospective look at the Brits in Dhofar, Aden, Oman.

We should have no truck with the idea of invading and the UN resolutions, if they are going to be applied ought to start with Israel. The sanctions on Iraq should be lifted to save hundreds of thousands of lives. The UN resolutions demand no nuclear weapons in the middle east so disarming Israel would be a real step forward.
