War Era Cartoons

Axis of Evil:  Iran – US supported Shah till l979 Iranian Revolution.  Iraq attacked Iran, and through US and Russian military supplies and intelligence kept Iran at bay.  The US told Iraq to pay back monies after war with Iran ended; Iraq said no way; and invaded Kuwait, thus resulting in 1991 Iraq war leaving Saddam Hussein in power.  2/10/03  NUCLEAR POWER:  Iran says it has developed ability to fuel nuclear plants but won’t seek weapons.   Iran is seeking Western help in building such nuclear plants for future electrical needs.  The UN Iranian ambassador says Iran will be using 1/2 of its own oil by 2020; will need other energy sources; is cognizant of oil running out; global warming; and need for alternative energy sources.  

 Iraq – Bush administration  replays  Father Bush’s 1991 Gulf War  but  to occupy Iraq for its oil, under the guise of Weapons of Mass Destruction, to free the Iraqi people from the dictator Saddam Hussein, and to impose American “Democratic”  institutions on a Muslim Country by “Christian” Americans who don’t speak or read Arabic.. 9/7/03  The Bush administration received  $87 Billion to cover one year’s expense for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan..  Someone at The New York Times described the Bush wars as “the Middle East has become what Southeast Asia was in his (Bush) youth – where dominos could not be allowed to fall  — ideology could not be permitted to take hold and spread.”

1/30/04  Saddam Hussein has been captured.  The United States’ chief weapons inspector Dr. David A. Kay has resigned and told Congress “We were all wrong…there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction to be found in Iraq.. .”  (Saddam Hussein had and used WMD during the Iran/Iraq war and used them on the Iranians and Kurds with the help of the United States Reagan/Bush I administration.)  After the 1991 Gulf War,  sanctions and oversight was provided by the UN to stop such WMD programs. The Iraqi  Shiite majority has told the US occupiers…if you want a democracy ….we’ll give you a democracy, and are demanding elections.  The Bush Administration begged the United Nations to go into Iraq and see if such elections are possible by the June deadline.  

3/15/03  Roger Morris, Richard Nixon biographer, reports that 40 years ago under the CIA President Kennedy conducted his own regime change in Baghdad, carried out in collaboration with Saddam Hussein.
