	Once and awhile its reported that the US sanctions on Iraq are
causing "pain in Baghdad." Of course nothing else is mentioned about
famine, deaths, or anything else. And of course today that hoopla was on
again about Tomahawk precision bombing. 

	The only thing said about Turkey is that there are also 10 million
Kurds there, but their oppression is never reported.
