Well, over 500,000 children have died in Iraq as a result of sanctions 
and the destruction of infrastructure during the first Gulf War.  I 
guess that shows just how much the west cares.  The US is going to spend 
12 billion on the military operation.  It spent 65 million on aid for 
the Iraqis.  I guess that shows how much they care.  Meanwhile, a 
humanitarian disaster is taking place in Africa right now with an AIDS 
epidemic and Eritrea on the brink of famine, and all the west can talk 
about is Saddam Hussein.  that's the real obscenity.

Karzai goes to Washington asking for aid.  he's offered 50 million but 
then told that 35 million of it has to go for the building of a luxury 
hotel in Kabul.  There's caring for you.  Remove oppressive 
dictatorships and replace them with capitalized impoverishment and then 
try to call it "progress" with a straight face.

Too much Chomsky?  Try Said, Pilger, Fisk, Monbiot.  God forbid anything 
but CNN, Fox TV, or any of the networks for that matter.
