People march to oppose sanctions against Iraq
NEW YORK — Chanting "Let Iraq Live" and carrying signs saying "End the Sanctions," about 1,600 protesters marched from Times Square to the United Nations Saturday to oppose military action against Iraq.
While an agreement signed by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Iraq averted any immediate action last week, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark and more than a dozen other speakers rallied against the continuing sanctions imposed on the Saddam Hussein regime.
The sanctions, which ban the sale of Iraqi oil except for food and medicine, seriously have damaged the once-whealty country. The U.N. Security Council says the sanctions will not be lifted until Iraq has complied with the weapons order.
"God help us if we do go ahead with any attacks," Clark said. "Third World people will think the U.S. will use weapons against anyone it chooses. We'll be alone in the world."
One Iraqi native who has lived in the United
States said the economic sanctions miss their target.
"I am against Saddam, but they are my people," said Nathan Hamid, 34, a biologist from New Jersey. "The ones who suffer are the children. They are the victims."
Theater warned about defaming Cobain's Love
SAN FRANCISCO — Courtney Love quashed it at Sundance. Now Kurt Cobain's widow is warning a movie theater against screening a documentary suggesting Cobain's death was no suicide.
"Kurt and Courtney," by British filmmaker Nick Broomfield, opened Friday at the Roxie Cinema, the same day the theater got a letter from Love's lawyer waming that the theater would share any liability with the filmmaker and cast members who raise questions about Love's role in Cobain's death.
