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 and 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.
