I am in a car driving from Baltimore to Washington, D.C., at 6:15 a.m. With me are Simon Harak, a Jesuit priest and theology professor, and Ardeth Platte and Carol Gilbert, Dominican sisters from Baltimore. We will later meet Aft Laffin, a Catholic lay worker, at the Senate Hart Office Building. Our plan is to enter the Senate confirmation hearings for Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Leslie Stahl went to Iraq for 60 Minutes. On the program that aired May 12, 1996, she asked Albright, who was then the US ambassador to the United Nations, to explain US policy in the context of the devastation she had seen among the children of Iraq. Albright responded: "It's a hard decision, Lesli Review:"The arguments for change are pretty convincing. The undecided should pay heed." The Economist Review:""For more than a decade, an inhuman campaign of sanctions?the most complete ever in recorded history?-has destroyed Iraq as a modern state, decimated its people, and ruined the agriculture, its educational and health care systems, as well as its entire infrastructure. All this has been done by the United States and United Kingdon, misusing United Nations resolutions against innocent civilians, leaving the tyrant Saddam Hussein more or less untouched. This remarkable book is an invaluable documentation of the tragedy in Iraq, and deserves reading by every citizen interested in the appalling reality of US and UK foreign policy."
Edward W. Said Review:"This is a very important book and I hope it will be widely read." Tony Benn, British Parliament, Socialist Review Review:"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 Review:"Here is a brilliantly collated body of unrelenting, undeniable evidence of the horrors that sanctions and war are visiting upon the people, in particular the children, of Iraq. For ordinary citizens sanctions are just another kind of dictatorship. Remote-controlled, seemingly civilized, they actually, literally, squeeze the very breath from babies' bodies." Arundhati Roy Review:"Iraq Under Siege is a very useful weapon in our international struggle against sanctions. This is not only the horrible story of children dying as a result of sanctions, a story our papers are so reluctant to write about. It is also a well argued warning about the kind of 'globalized' world they will build for us, if we let them."
