Cuba & Iraq: Under the Gun of US Sanctions
Erica McEvoy
Mon Jan 28, 12-12:45pm, Twenty Chimneys
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
George Capaccio (Voices in the Wilderness) will make the case that US economic sanctions target the most vulnerable members of Cuban and Iraqi society, create unnecessary hardship and misery, and ultimately fail in their political objectives.
Drawing from personal experience, Capaccio will present evidence of the deadly impact of US sanctions on the ordinary people of Iraq. He will also compare the Cuban and Iraqi experience of sanctions in relation to the US government's interest in dominating the natural resource supplies of both the Western Hemisphere and the Middle East.
