Ramsey Clark Letter to UN

Just read on Scot Hacker’s blog about Ramsey Clark’s Letter to UN from 1998.

_The notion that Iraq is a threat to the region is a false

fantasy created by the U.S. to justify its vast military

presence in the region, to dominate the oil resources and

to contain Islam. Iraq is no threat to its neighbors as

every Security Council member knows. It is barely able to

survive. Turkey regularly attacks the Kurdish people and

others living on northern Iraqi soil at will with U.S.

support and U.N. acquiescence. There are many nations on

earth that pose far greater threats of minor violence and

to world peace than Iraq. As the recently published

“Israel and the Bomb”, Columbia University Press, again

demonstrates, Israel developed and has manufactured some

hundreds of nuclear bombs in violation of Security Council

resolutions and international law. _

Lot’s more interesting stuff.
