		As there is widespread opposition to a US attack on Iraq within the Arab world, a war on Iraq could sow the seeds of terrorism, rather than help to weed it out.
		Since the Gulf War in 1991, the people of Iraq have suffered from economic sanctions and the destruction of much of the civilian infrastructure of the country.
