 Democracy on the wings of tomahawksI do not know if these days people can live their life peacefully not thinking, at least once a day, of the “democratic offensive” of the allied forces happening to the citizens of Iraq. Really hard. I believe that no one can remain immune to the TV pictures or the ones from the newspapers’ front pages. Even more irritating is the information on the number of missiles used for “democratic cause” especially if we take into consideration the fact that each of them costs a fortune. For example, one of the “tomahawk” bombs popularly called “a carrier of democracy and benefit to the population of Iraq” costs $1 million. When you read the information that by 1995, 567,00 children to the age of five died in Iraq as a result of the sanctions imposed by the international community, don’t you fly off the handle? (this information is from the UN FAO preliminary research report from 1995).
