The US-spearheaded sanctions on Iraq are âweapons of mass destructionâ and should be lifted immediately, US anti-sanction lobbyists said in a message to US President George W. Bush. âWe are five Americans writing to you from Baghdad, Iraq ... (where we) have indeed discovered that weapons of mass destruction exist,â Voices in the Wilderness said in the letter. âWe see it constantly in use when we visit the children's wards in hospitals across this country. We know its horrible power when we confront the uncontested United Nations statistics: Hundreds of thousands of little children have died as a direct result of the sanctions the US has maintained against Iraq for over 11 years." The group, which has had members in Iraq permanently since mid-November in defiance of US laws, urged Bush to lift the sanctions which were imposed by the United Nations after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
