How was the blockade against Iraq look like?

It might be a strange question but the reality is that not so many people knows exactly what is the blockade and how much destructive it was and why it was imposed from the first time.
In 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait the American were very much happy that they will be able to destroy Iraq’s infrastructure specially after Saddam’s announcement that he posses Anthrax a chemical weapon that no way can America tolerate its possession by some revolutionary character like Saddam. He threatened to use it against Israel in case Israel attacks him. And here where the beginning was.

The US decided to impose the blockade against Saddam until he withdraw from Kuwait and when he did withdraw from Kuwait they said well it is not enough to lift the sanctions you have to dismantle your chemical weapons, so he agreed and cooperated with the UN inspectors teams and he delivered all what he once possessed of chemical weapons. Every time they say to him it is not enough you are lying on as. Until he decided to stop cooperating owing to the dirty game that he discovered so late that they were dismantling him in order to invade him and occupy Iraq. It was too late. And I am sure he said to him self I wish I did not listen to them and I wish I did not allow dismantling the Anthrax program.

During the blockade the American and its allies played a very dirty game when they did not care about the millions of mortalities among children and I was asking myself does the children only the type of creature the world really care about? What about women and old people and even young women and men are they not worth mercy? The blockade was a farce in all scales let me tell you, I lived every minute of the blockade and it was really like hell.

The Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq (CASI) aimed to raise awareness of the effects of sanctions on Iraq, and campaigned on humanitarian grounds for the lifting of non-military sanctions.


"if the substantial reduction in child mortality throughout Iraq during the
1980s had continued through the 1990s, there would have been half a million
fewer deaths of children under-five in the country as a whole during the eight
year period 1991 to 1998" Unicef, 12 August 1999.


"We are in the process of destroying an entire society. It is as simple and
terrifying as that. It is illegal and immoral." Denis Halliday, after
resigning as first UN Assistant Secretary General and Humanitarian Coordinator
in Iraq, The Independent, 15 October 1998


I want to say a word on behalf of the Iraqi people, “we will never forget how harsh and unfair the blockade was and Madlin Olbright the former foreign secretary of state said that the killing of those people worth it, well of course you say that because you are people without any moral values because your love to Israel turned you into blind people that you can justify any crime under the slogan “anti semitic”. Simply I say the blockade was a genocide that no one in the world cared about, it is as harsh and devastating as the Holocaust. We will never forget.”
