a virus-----an arab womens blues



this is what has been done in our name......

"Twenty Billion $ have been allocated for Hospitals and Medical supplies. All of it has gone missing. Some of the equipment and medication are later found being sold on the black market...

The culprits are none other than the Ministry of Health AND foreign “reconstruction” contractors. The Americans, Brits and the rest of the parasites that have infected Iraq...

Out of 150 health projects, only 6 have been completed and not totally.
The Health Ministry along with these foreign contractors have cashed in the money. Again corruption and fraud of the highest order...

And the Iraqis are left with their diseases, amputations, wounds and scars in total indifference. Indifference by both the puppet government, the Americans and the so called International Community...



I have also not touched upon the displaced, inside and outside of Iraq who for the most part have absolutely NO access to any medical care whatsoever.

I have not even spoken of the all too common sight- that of mothers, selling some food they received in charity so they can take their child to a doctor...

I have not even touched upon those who are riddled with cancer and can’t afford morphine and are left to wither away in agony..."

2. Layla Anwar, the voice of truth in Iraq. Nominated with so much sadness
for the Iraqis' plight and our complicity.

5. Laura Bush tried to get that women's and children's hospital
built in southern Iraq, and they said the operating theater was unusable due to sewage leaking into it, etc. $50 million partially wasted; needed lots of repairs to make it usable. The contractors were the ones make $$$.
