	Humanitarian groups unprepared for Iraq war
		In the event of war, the likely outcome will be a humanitarian "disaster" in which casualties among children could reach the hundreds of thousands, a ten-member team of health researchers, psychologists, and children's rights activists warned on Jan 30.
		The team concludes that the fallout from the 1991 Gulf War, along with 12 years of economic sanctions imposed on Iraq for failing to comply with the United Nations Security Council resolution mandating the elimination of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons programmes, have combined to leave most Iraqi children living in conditions of destitute poverty.
		War, the report says, "must be considered as an option of last resort and an indictment to the failure of diplomatic and all other means to resolve dispute".

	iafrica.com \| news \| world news UK's war case 'in tatters', say media
		Britain's case for war against Iraq is "in tatters" following evidence from a British former defence official to the inquiry into the suicide of weapons expert David Kelly, London newspapers said on Thursday.
		Brian Jones, a former official from the Ministry of Defence's secretive intelligence wing, testified on Wednesday that British intelligence officials were worried that a government dossier on Iraq's weapons ahead of war was exaggerated and that "significant" concerns were ignored.
		Also describing the government's case for war as being "in tatters", it added: "Our country is mired in a dangerous and expensive commitment (in Iraq), with not a sign of an exit strategy.

	Tatters of Balkan war expose deeper, unredemptive scars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Setting a novel against a civil war that still looms raw in living memory, like the bloodbath in the Balkans, is the literary equivalent of navigating a minefield.
		Holly Payne's greatest achievement in "The Sound of Blue" is to move the story beyond the never-ending volleys of who-did-what-to-whom into a realm where the only thing that really matters is not whether her characters are Serb or Croat but that they are refugees.
		In Payne's writing the war is a dark backdrop to inner conflicts and demons that each of her characters is fleeing.

		Toward the end of the Iran-Iraq war in 1988, the Iranians had started an offensive in the north after their efforts in the south, around Kuwait, had failed.
		After two international wars (the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-88 and the Gulf war of 1991) and nine years of UN-imposed trade sanctions, the Iraqi economy lies in tatters.
		The "oil-for-food" programme, introduced by UN Resolution 986 in 1995, has not halted the collapse of the health system and the deterioration of water supplies, which together pose one of the gravest threats to the health and well-being of the civilian population.

	The Militant - February 12, 2001 -- Bush administration probes new military threats against Iraq
		It was the first of Washington's wars since World War II in which it sought to use its military might to deal economic and political blows to its rivals in Europe and Japan.
		The Gulf war also intensified the political conflicts between Washington and the workers state in the former Soviet Union, whose government backed the imperialist assault on Iraq.
		The governments of the workers states in Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic participated in the 1990—91 war and all have joined NATO as part of Washington's moves to expand its military presence eastward, a drive opposed by Russian government officials who see the logic of the military expansion.

		Though he has referred to the role expected of the UN, the impression that emerges from the address is that his unilateralist approach that has been criticized both by European allies and the international community at large would be retained.
		So long as he projects himself as the determined commander-in-chief of a country at war with a continuing terrorist threat, he and the neocons around him believe he will be unassailable for re-election.
		The fact that intelligence reports were misused and the threat of Saddam's WMDs overplayed to justify the war in Iraq is being downplayed, though it is bound to figure in the election campaign until November.

	TomPaine.com - Bush's Illegal War
		The 18 months since the launch of the Iraq war, however, have left the country's hard-earned respect and credibility in tatters.
		In going to war without a legal basis or the backing of traditional U.S. allies, the Bush administration brazenly undermined Washington's long-held commitment to international law, its acceptance of consensual decision-making, its reputation for moderation, and its identification with the preservation of peace.
		The Iraq war clearly illustrates both points: not only did containment and deterrence offer a perfectly workable method of dealing with Saddam's Iraq, but the consequences of the U.S. occupation have also made Americans much more insecure.

	Peoples War Peoples Hx Zinn
		In short, if the entrance of the United States into World War II was (as so many Americans believed at the time, observing the Nazi invasions) to defend the principle of nonintervention in the affairs of other countries, the nation's record cast doubt on its ability to uphold that principle.
		Yet, the war against Fascism, although it utilized women in defense industries where they were desperately needed, took no special steps to change the subordinate role of women.
		The Chinese then swept southward and the war was stalemated at the 38th parallel until peace negotiations restored, in 1953, the old boundary between North and South.

	The Nonviolent Activist — July-August 2003
		The War Resisters League opposed this war as it has opposed all wars for 80 years: as a crime against humanity whose main victims are inevitably the weak, the poor and the vulnerable.
		But it is well-connected war profiteers such as the Bechtel Corporation, Halliburton and the Carlisle group that are lining up for lucrative “reconstruction” contracts, the costs of which will be borne by U.S. and Iraqi citizens.
		The War Resisters League and other antiwar organizations should be part of such efforts as a matter of long-term strategy, and not just short-term expediency.

		Although he focuses on preparations for war and the initial wartime experience, he clearly intends his conclusions to have relevance for the French defeat and narrow British survival in 1940.
		Among the consequences stemming from a lack of central direction of economic mobilization for war and the privileging of industrialists over labor were inefficiencies of production, and inequalities of burdens (industrialists made large profits while workers' overtime pay was heavily taxed).[5] Many industrialists opposed planning as steps towards socialism and communism.
		Rather, during the phony war, numerous factors brought France to a strategic crisis as, after March 1940, both Premier Daladier and Premier Reynaud lacked a clear majority in parliament in support of the war.

		Forensics experts sent to southern Iraq to analyze the makeshift coffins and plastic bags in which the human body parts were found said all the injuries appeared consistent with combat, contrary to initial reports from an Iranian news agency some showed signs of torture.
		Some of the soldiers said the makeshift wooden, open-face coffins were stacked deep in the warehouse and belonged to the 51st Division headquarters of the Iraqi regular army.

		General Samsonov had begun to take his Second Army into the south-western corner of East Prussia whilst General Rennenkampf advanced into its north-east with the First Army.
		Critically short of supplies and with his communications system in tatters, his forces were dispersed, and VI corps had already been defeated.

		"Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups will be strengthened by the war, in Iraq itself as well as around the rest of the world," he said.

		Critics see history repeating itself in what they claim are the two wars' specious justifications (the Tonkin Gulf attack, the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction); the attempted handoffs to native forces (Vietnamization, the training of Iraqi soldiers); and the overall effect (quagmire).
		The war has also revealed how few of us are willing to listen to a political speaker intensely enough to risk having our mind changed.
		And when war is on the table for discussion, a tongue-tied culture becomes not just a flaw but a crying shame.

		Mindful that the alliance was in tatters, one of his first acts on taking command was to visit Lord Raglan.
