Voices From Iraq
A Humanitarian and Environmental Disaster
IslamOnline’s correspondent met Sheikh Kazem Aboud al-Qatrani who said that every single house in Al-Basra wants to take revenge from the United States for killing and injuring hundreds of Iraqi people by its round-the-clock incursions.
“Many people, particularly children, were also affected by cancer due to the deadly depleted uranium used by the Americans during the second Gulf War.
“If it had not been for Allah and the scorching heat of the sun, a humanitarian and environmental disaster would have taken place,” said Qatrani.
“We have a burning desire to fight the Americans. When they come, we will teach them a lesson that they will never forget. We are going to take them by surprise in the days to come,” he vowed.

Rep. Jim Moran (D-Virginia)
"If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this.”
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms .. is squandering the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - pre Enron States of America, Eisenhower, April, 1953

Iraq's Health Minister Umid Medhat Mubarak said that more than 350 people have been killed and about 3,600 injured since the start of US-led military strikes on March 20.
The minister, at a press conference in the Iraqi capital, said the casualty toll was "approximate" and included mostly children, women and the elderly.
He accused coalition forces in southern Iraq of targeting a hospital and two ambulances in Al-Nasiriyah, injuring a driver, and of destroying a medical centre in Najaf and killing an ambulance driver there.
The coalition was using "cluster bombs" against civilians in Basra and Baghdad, Mubarak charged.

Martin Edwards, Iraq Peace Team (26 March 2003) We may have differences with the Iraqi leadership, but the Iraqi people seem to me way ahead in the civilization department, a ratio of 7,000:350 in years. And, currently, it seems almost as great a ratio in terms of graciousness, hospitality, pride, sense of identity, spirituality, and heartfelt humanity. Martin Edwards writes from Baghdad.
