                     ANTI-FASCIST ACTION ALERT #53
CALL TO ACTION ON SANCTIONS AND THE U.S. WAR AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ
      by Noam Chomsky, Edward Herman, Edward Said, and Howard Zinn
                                8 Jan 98

"At the end of 1998, the United States once again rained bombs on the
people of Iraq. But even when the bombs stop falling, the U.S. war
against the people of Iraq continues through the harsh economic
sanctions. This is a call to action to end all the war.

"This month U.S. policy will kill 4,500 children under the age of 5 in
Iraq, according to UN studies, just as it did last month and the month
before that, all the way back to 1991. Since the end of the Gulf War,
at least hundreds of thousands -- maybe more than 1 million -- Iraqis
have died as a direct result of the UN sanctions on Iraq, which are a
direct result of U.S. policy.

"This is not foreign policy -- it is sanctioned mass-murder that is
nearing holocaust proportions. ..." more details at:
