I know that he helped set up the Mariam Appeal, a humanitarian organisation established in 1998 initially to raise funds on behalf of an Iraqi girl who suffered from leukaemia and who, because of economic sanctions, was unable to receive adequate medical care.

Excuse me? Hey Ritter, the world knows now, the sanctions were deferred by Saddam to build palaces & provide other benefits to his preferred people. Why no sympathy for the poor girl in light of Saddam having $1 billion in US $$$ or more and kept from this girl? or all the money coming in through the back door from Syria for illegal oil and, yet, no money for this poor girl? Why continue the pure hatred filled diatribe against the US?

Don't forget the One Billion Dollars in cash the troops have recovered. There has to be more than that nearby or in Swiss Bank Accounts...
