[Reader-list] can we have one too please?

on this point -

the Berliner Zeitung recently reported that the US government has 
seized iraqi assets in the us as well as in switzerland - money in 
bank accounts which is now being used to pay for the services of 
us-american companies that are rebuilding the infrastructure that has 
just been destroyed by the bombs. (you would think that even if this 
money belongs to saddam himself, it should be given back to the iraqi 
people, rather than to the us-finance dept.)

i wonder whether they are also making the iraqis pay for the fuel of 
those b-52s flying in from britain to drop the humanitarian bombs ...

but i am sure that the liberated iraqui people are enlightened and 
kind enough to share their oil wealth with their great peace-loving 
friends, modernisers and liberators, so things are cool!
