David Barsamian's Alternative Radio with
<bold>Iraq Under Siege
</bold>Howard Zinn, Rania Masri, et al - Iraq Under Siege
Iraq is under siege. A decade long sanctions regime has caused massive
suffering and hundreds of thousands of deaths. While Saddam Hussein
and
his cohorts live in luxury, the once burgeoning middle class is wiped
out. In addition US & UK planes routinely bomb the country. No matter
one's view on the horrendous Saddam there is no question that ordinary
Iraqis are paying an enormous price. An international movement is
calling for the lifting of sanctions.
Howard Zinn is one of America's foremost historians. He played an
active
role in the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements. His classic
book is "A People's History of the U.S. "
Anthony Arnove is the editor of the new book "Iraq Under Siege." He
writes for Z, Race & Class and other journals. He is an editor at
South
End Press.
Ali Abunimah is a media analyst and commentator on the Middle East. He
is vice-president of the Arab American Action Network based in
Chicago.
Rania Masri is the coordinator of the Iraq Action Network. She is the
1999 recipient of the International Human Rights Award of North
Carolina.
