Most [Iraqi] people say, 'Thank you for getting rid of Saddam.'

And yet these two treasonous idiots, along with "hundreds of others from the Ithaca area" continue to oppose the war and the White House's motives for commencing it.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

Is Ithica the city in NY where Cornell is located? Another university that is favored by the downstate NY limo liberal elite? Us upstate farmers can't afford to send our children there. I'd bet its a Hillary town.

They visited schools, hospitals and orphanages, all affected by sanctions placed on Iraq in August of 1990. Since the start of the sanctions, which are U.N.-imposed and U.S.-mandated in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, emergency medical supplies and equipment and educational materials have been scarce. Without water sanitation and properly functioning sewage systems, diseases such as cholera, typhus and dysentery thrive in Iraq, which was once described as practically first world by the U.N.

I thought the UN Oil for Food program was designed to alleviate the suffering of the Iraqi people.

This "article" is so full of untruths it's difficult to know where to begin. I would start with the lie that the UN/US sanctions were the cause of Iraqi children starving and citizens not getting medical care. Clueless and destructive so-called humanitarians are NOT listening to the Iraqi people.

Stephens, who worked at Newsweek for 19 years (where she and Sapio met) has spent the majority of her writing and editing career in the news media.

Naaaaaaah, you are right Joe Conason and Eric Alterman. There is no LW bias in the mianstream media.

I'd love to see how Iraqui kids react when the people from Ithica offer them "My Two Daddies" as a school textbook.
