Margaret Hassan
The reports are that Margaret Hassan may have been murdered. Watch the very politicians that spent their lives killing the people she tried desparately to save weep crocodile tears for her, as they read eulogies from teleprompters.
I believe this picture of her that's been making the rounds dates from the sanctions era -- those cruel, punishing U.S.-U.K led sanctions that lasted a decade at a great cost to Iraq's population, especially the most vulnerable sections.
There is a lot of talk these days about how much Saddam Hussein might have stolen from the people of Iraq via the Oil-For-Food program. I don't know. He was a evil, brutal tyrant capable of anything. As opponents of the sanctions at the time, we kept pointing out the sanctions were not harming Saddam Hussein but the people of Iraq. Nobody cared. Just as nobody now talks about that decade of cruelty that killed as much as 5,000 children under the age of five, every month, year after year.
Hassan opposed those sanctions vociferously -- don't expect either Bush nor Blair, who supported those sanctions to mention that fact.
