Allan Mcintyre
Actually, yes. Mainly
because Canada is going
into a recession and higher
interest rates will create a tot
of jobless situations.

Julie Nadey __ .
1 don't agree with it at all.
They shouldn't tax things like
school supplies and faod.

Gordon Mcintyre
Yes and no. It seems to
me it should be cheaper
than what we're paying now
with the Federal Sales Tax.
But ! am a bit nervous about

the GST.

Patricia Sorensen
Yes. As a single parent |
don't know how it will affect
me. In other words, { dont
understand the GST.

Robert Holland
Not reaily. | figure it will
have some inflationary effect
considering that the hidden
taxes will be taken off.

As a Terrace resident and a
person born in Iraq, I want to
share my thoughts on the recent
dilemma caused by the Iraqi
invasion of Kuwait, not to justify
Iraq’s action but to present readers
with some background information
on the conflict.

Kuwait was once a province of
Iraq, and they are of the same
people and culture. Both countries

\j- were dependent on fishing before

the discovery of oil changed every-
thing in their economy. Ancient
Iraq was called Mesopotamia, and
civilizations there date back to a
culture called Ur that existed 7,000
years ago and civilizations that
followed it included the Akkad-
ians, Sumerians, Ashurians,
Babylonians, Keldanians and
others.

After the first world war the
British created the administrative
area called Iraq from a remnant of
the vanquished Ottoman empire.

Iraq holds oil reserves estimated
at 100 billion barrels. In its more
recent history, the Iran-Iraq war
halted Iraq’s oil exports through
Syria and the Persian Gulf. The
flow of exported oil was re-estab-
lished by pipelines built through
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Jordan.
Iraq, however, sought a strategic
point at which it could stop Future
invasions by Iran, and that stra-
tegic point was Bobian Island at
the top of the Persian Gulf — an
island that belonged to Kuwait.
Iraq attempted to buy the island as
a protective measure for the guif
States and themselves.

The island has an airport and sea
ports and would make the best
location for establishing a defense
force of jet fighters to repel future
Iranian incursions into the gulf. It
would also make a secure port

from which oil could be exported
and into which weapons could be
shipped.

The Iraqi economy has suffered
from eight years of war with Iran,
and the Iraqis are resentful because
their government is $80 billion in
debt, much of which is owned to
other Arab states, and Kuwait and
other gulf countries continue to
overproduce their oil, driving the
price of Iraqi oil downward.

OF that debt $20 billion is owed
Kuwait, but the Iraqis don’t want
to repay it because they consider it
to be part of the price of defending
Kuwait from Iran. Iraq is trying to
play the big boy and body guard in
the gulf, because if they don’t the
Iranians would have swept the gulf
states in a few days.

Three other strategic islands at
the head of the gulf originally
belonged to the old Arabic Gulf
State and are now held by Iran.

‘They are Soleman Island, Kharg

Island, and Toneb and Om-Mousa.
Iraq will certainly seek to take
these over, with or without force,
and quickly, while Iran is still
weak from the war.

I pray for peace to all nations
and freedom from invasions.
