August 1990 Saddam Hussein was a favoured friend and trading partner of the US and U.K. He
was 'our kind of guy'. Saddam Hussein remains a monster and a serious threat, as he was
when he conducted his most awful crimes with US/UK support. But the reaction of his former
backers reeks of cynicism and hypocrisy.&quot;</big></font></td>

<td colspan="2">Sanctions were introduced, with hospital and medical supplies blocked,
since they were allegedly intended for &quot;biological weapons&quot;. The other main
target for sanctions has been food. Only perhaps health is allowed. The UN inspectors,
allegedly looking for evidence of the manufacture of &quot;weapons of mass
destruction&quot; would seem to have been acting as spies. All this suggests that the
British and American forces will again be targeted by subversive agents. So far the
results of sanctions has been the death of about another million people - half of them
children under 5 years of age. The intended Gulf War 2 has as its primary objective the
killing off of the rest of the Iraqi population. </td>

US history:<p>In early 1975 some twelve articles appeared in American newspapers and
magazines on &quot;How we would occupy the Arab oil fields from Kuwait to Dubai (not
Iraq), expel the indigenous population, &quot;not more than 2 million&quot;, bring in
Texan and Oklahoma oil men who would produce the oil. The inevitable cries of
&quot;imperialism&quot; from the third world would be immediately stilled by our selling
of oil to them for $2.5 a barrel. The reaction of the Soviet Union and the Arabs
themselves was conveniently ignored. </p>
