The terrible toll of a decade-old U.S. war
Ever since the U.S. air war on Afghanistan ended, the Bush gang has made it clear that their "war against terror" is headed for Baghdad. But this will be only the latest phase in a U.S. war on Iraq that has lasted more than a decade.

Denis Halliday resigned in 1998 as United Nations coordinator of humanitarian aid for Iraq to protest the devastating toll of economic sanctions. He talks about the impact of a new U.S. war on Iraq.
