Eric Lee: The difference a decade makes My meeting was with the London representative of the Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU), Abdullah Muhsin, at the headquarters of the RMT union, which represents, among others, the people who work on the London Undergound. I would also ask if he had any intention of relenquishing control of the Iraqi oil fields and exactly when was he going to send his troops to the Middle East in order to stop Ariel Sharon and Yassar Arafat from sacrificing any more innocent lives in their fifty year old battle over territory. Abdullah had recently returned from Baghdad and we were due to discuss the creation of the union's first website, which will be located at http://www.iraqitradeunions.org. www.ericlee.me.uk /archive/000065.html   (1157 words)

Iraqi resistance Among the reasons the resistance gives for the sabotage is to prevent an American seizure of Iraqi oil, which some opponents of the occupation believe was one of the main reasons for the invasion.

There have also been allegations of attacks on water pipelines and the electrical grid by the Iraqi insurgents, although there is controversy as to whether the incidents in question did indeed represent intended sabotage. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/I/Iraqi-resistance.htm   (6445 words)
