A great tool for the emerging movement against sanctions.

The UN FAO report shows that over 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of five have died as a result of U.S./UN-imposed sanctions. The accompanying photos and chapters define the social implications.

From http://www.lbbs.org/sep/iraq.htm:
In this moving new collection, leading voices against the sanctions document the human, environmental, and social toll of the United States-led war against the Iraqi people.
Carefully documented, thoroughly researched, and written in clear language, “Iraq Under Siege” will be invaluable for anyone wanting to understand the roots of US policy in Iraq and the Middle East — and end the war on the Iraqi people.
“This remarkable book is an invaluable documentation of the tragedy, and deserves reading by every citizen interested in the appalling reality of US and UK foreign policy.”
— Edward W. Said
“This book gives us a key to understand the New World Order, and warns about how Iraq’s tragedy may be a model for global bullying and global impunity in coming times.”
— Eduardo Galeano
The Fire This Time:
U.S. War Crimes in the Gulf War
by Ramsey Clark
former U.S. Attorney General
International Action Center
1991, 3rd edition 2002
The Fire This Time contains comprehensive research unmatched by any other book on the Iraq Genocide. The new edition includes updated information on the deadly impact of economic sanctions on Iraqi civilian people, sanctions which have been in place since August 1990.
This groundbreaking work by Ramsey Clark tells the truth about massive U.S. war crimes against the Iraqi people in the 1991 Gulf “War”. With a special new introduction: After September 11th, an assessment of the U.S./Iraq conflict.
The Fire This Time is an invaluable resource for those organizing opposition to a new U.S. war against the Iraqi people, an important book to be in the hands of anti-war activists, students, and readers worldwide.
The International Action Center (IAC) is mounting a full-scale international campaign to stop the unelected Bush Regime from waging a new genocide against the people of Iraq. The IAC has rushed to publish this new edition so that tens of thousands of anti-war activists in the U.S. can use it as part of an emergency campaign to educate and mobilize public opinion.
The new introduction analyzes how the unelected Bush Regime opportunistically used the tragic events of September 11 for a premeditated act of blatant aggression and state terrorism, a war dictated by obvious imperial ambitions in the oil-rich Middle East and Central Asia. It has nothing whatsoever to do with “fighting terrorism”. American state terrorism is the greatest terrorism in the world. Another Iraq Genocide would violate all international laws, in addition to the simple, basic laws of human morality.
“The Fire This Time shows that our leaders committed war crimes in the Persian Gulf War no less surely than the Nazis committed war crimes in World War II.”
— Kurt Vonnegut
“[Ramsey Clark] risked his life by traveling for three weeks through Iraqi cities in an old American sedan at a time when the U.S. was staging 3,000 bombing sorties a day.”
— Los Angeles Times
Clark presents Americans with the unthinkable: that their government killed upward of 100,000 civilians in a terrifying power exercise, sanctified by a captive media...”

Fire and Ice:
The Devastation of Iraq by War and Sanctions
by Ramsey Clark
http://www.iacenter.org/fireice.htm
“There was no war. No combat. There was only a deliberate, systematic genocide of a defenseless population while barely setting foot on Iraqi soil. When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said in 1967, ‘The greatest purveyor of violence on earth is my own government’, he could not have dreamed in his worst nightmare what the U.S. did to Iraq.”
International Action Center — Iraq Sanctions Challenge
http://www.iacenter.org/iraqchallenge/
The courageous people at the International Action Center have completed their fourth trip to Iraq. Each time they bring donated medicines to Iraq that are blocked by the American/British sanctions, and then report back on the conditions suffered by the Iraqi people — conditions routinely covered-up by the mainstream corporate mass-media.
