Letter: Iraq resolution
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.HAS THE inexperienced new Labour Cabinet thought through the implications of an American attack on Iraq?
What happens if Saddam is killed or overthrown? What follows in the ensuing instability? Will Iraq break up? What will Netanyahu's Israel do if the Iraqi army is destroyed? Will Israel opportunistically attack Syria and the Palestinians in Lebanon? In the throes of defeat, will Saddam drop anthrax on Israel?
The persistent aim of US policy is to ensure Israel's dominance of the Middle East, despite Israel's disregard of UN resolutions and its international obligations over many years. And there is never any requirement on Israel to reveal its chemical, biological and nuclear stockpile, nor to reverse its refusal to sign the non-proliferation treaties. How many thousands will now be slaughtered in this ill-considered adventurism?
