Page AB ~ Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 20, 1991 —__L TTER TO THE TERRACE STANDARD , Operation Desert Storm is a just war. We have one single madman bent on taking over the entire Middle East so he can . get to the Jewish people and an- nihilate them. | Even his friends, who support his final goal, are opposed to the means Saddam Hussein is using, If that were not so his . friends would not be against him in his efforts to claim Kuwait. - Like all rabid vermin the only thing to do with a John Dill- inger is to shoot him down in the street because men like that : have too many followers who are willing to maim and kill to keep him free so that he can continue to slaughter his neighbours, rape women and torture children. The problem is that Saddam is not alone in the Middle East and Africa when it comes io reviving Hitler’s halocaust and forcing the Jewish peaple ta be sacrificed to desires of terrorists secking world domination and economic control, Only moderate countries like Egypt are exempt from such mania. When Saddam is defeated. there is always an Ayatollah ready to unite his faithful against the Jews and the West. It’s like a dog chasing its tail, Democracy is not always the. answer. President Bush has vi- sions of yuppies running his new world order through un- the fanatical © “Gulf war is a just one "Dear Sir: checked capitalism that will be sure to put the average worker into the chains of anti-union slavery, Democracy only works for those peopie who can buy into it and over 60 per cent of the West's population live below the poverty Hine which means they only get lip service from the system which provides acor- nucapia of social amenities to the affluent. © People who are starving don’t: care about a bunch of Jews, This means that wher the.U.S. defeats Saddam, and as poverty grows in thal part of the world while affluent Westerners become even richer, there will be more anti-semitic feelings among people living below the “When the war is over” Dear Sir: “We have to stop this war. Who's we? The people of this world. ~The new buzz phrase is, “When the war is over.’’ You hear this all the time now, from politicians, generals, media peo- pie, - The phrase, ‘“When the war is over,” is repeated so constantly you have to believe it expresses what people really want: an end to this war. I think it also reflects an uneasy recognition, that people -can't yet admit even to _ themselves, that this war was a catastrophic mistake. This may be World War Three, People say, “When the war is over,” but the problem is, it isn’t over, and it isn"! going to be unless we stop it, Thousands of young men and women will die, or be badly unded, or bly i Isaqis, saul Ata ates.

Not inten- tionally, because the U.S, and British pilots are certainly trying to avoid what military spokespersons call ‘‘collateral damage,”” but inevitably, given the tens of thousands of sorties flown. -All day long, while we go about our normal lives, it: is ‘from AS Centre defended In other areas of this pro- vince where correction cen- night in Iraq and the bombs are falling and the children are suf- fering and dying. This is not an emotional appeal. This is a fact. . If you support the war, then you have to tell yourself that che war aims, however you see them, justify the killing of these innocent children. If there can be a ceasefire soon, then maybe we can avoid some of the terrible things that lie ahead:. The bloodbath of troops. chemical, biological, or nuclear attacks. (One of the very few bright spots was Joe Clark tell- ing the Americans Canada would not accept the use of nuclear weapons.) Political destabilization in Egypt, Syria, etc., leading to the breakup of the coalition and the isolation of the U.S. and its European and North American allies in a conflict with the vast agony, ol f Arab peoples. watt We-cantt just assume. this ¥ war will sdinehow go away, and that peace will return, as if it had never happened. Rather, if we do not demand an end toit, it is likely to widen, For what already has happen- ed, the Government of Canada bears some responsibility. We need to tell our government we want an. immediate ceasefire, continuation of sanctions against Iraq, a UN peacekeep- ing force on the Saudi border, and an international peace con- ference. We need to act now, before it realize that it is there. I have seen the work they is too late. George Stanley Terrace, B.C.
