Scott Horton teaches us a lot of things the Mainstream Media will not. I did not know Thatcher talked Bush into declaring war on Iraq. I knew after the Gulf War, the US and UK bombed Iraq from the Northern and Southern No Fly Zones. On TV, I saw a woman that worked for a Catholic Relief Agency and spent time in Iraq after the Gulf War. She said the sanctions led to starvation of the Iraqi People and the UN’s Oil For Food Program restricted the amount of oil Iraq could sell and food it could buy. The country was in ruins because the US and UK were bombing Iraq from the No Fly Zones.
