 The United States, Britain and the countries allied with them have com-
 mitted a war od genocide against the people of Iraq. They imposed and
 indeed are still imposing a comprehensive package of economic sanctions
 that included even the supply of foodstuffs and medicines with the
 explicit purpose of depriving the people of this country of their most
 basic needs.

 Die Vereinigten Staaten, England und die mit ihnen verbündeten Länder
 haben einen Krieg des Genozids gegen die Menschen des Iraks geführt.
 Sie bürdeten der Bevölkerung ökonomische Sanktionen auf, durch die
 sie ihrer lebensnotwendigen Bedürfnisse wie Lebensmittel und Medizin
 beraubt wurde.
