The Mary Morello and Cindy Sheehan Show [week 2]
Mary: Today we are going to talk about the hospital and I wanted to talk a little about…are we on?
Cindy: I think I wanted to switch gears a little today if that is okay?
Mary: Sure
Cindy: so why don't you start Mary.
Mary: I believe we are responsible for the Iraqi's health since we are responsible for everything that happened. Like originally when the U.S. Air Force went over Iraq, they bombed the hospitals and then they destroyed ambulances coming in and now some people are trying to bring medical help from Syria, it hardly ever gets through. If it is a U.S. person driving in the frontier or something, then the U.S. troops are happy here on American turf, but sometimes they just fire and those people are just gone.
Cindy: Some conservatives say that we are not responsible for the Iraqi people because we've given them democracy and we've given them institutions, which is wrong like you said Mary. We've destroyed their country, we've killed almost a million people, just in this illegal invasion and occupation, before less than twelve years of sanctions that were imposed by Bill Clinton and the UN two million Iraqi people died and over a million of them were children.
Mary: Right
Cindy: And since the first Gulf War, the incidences of leukemia and cancer are going up almost 300% and children are being born with deformities. But of course there are more instances of spontaneous abortions and babies being born with deformities and other birth defects and hospitals all over Iraq are suffering from lack of medicine, lack of equipment, and lack of doctors. A lot of doctors were killed, like you said, in the initial invasion. Hospitals and doctors were targeted.
Mary: This one doctor is using a garage where he does his medical practices. They don't have any anesthetics and can you imagine trying to help someone and fix them up and there is no way that you can knock them out. They have to just accept that there is no anesthetic?
Cindy: First of all, you know this whole occupation and invasion was a war crime, crimes against humanity, crimes against the Geneva convention, HOWEVER if a country is occupying another country momentarily, one of their responsibilities is to take care of the occupied people.
Mary: right
Cindy: And that is not being done, in fact the opposite is being done. Children can not go to school, there is a humanitarian crisis.
Mary: People don't even want to come out of their houses and then sometimes soldiers go into the houses and just kill the people or I think once in a while they give a specific time to leave the house and if they don't then that's it. I think about it sometimes.. well, I don't believe in war anyway, but where one group is shooting at another and it is just devastation of a country. It just doesn't make any sense.
Cindy: Well, as in all war, who suffers the most are usually the mothers and the children an
d families. This is getting a little off the subject and could be used for an entire hour, but war being used as a tool for diplomacy is immoral because so many people suffer from it.
Mary: What did you want to talk about that was different from what we had planned?
Cindy: I just wanted to tell people to go to iraqhelpnow.org to donate money and medical supplies to hospitals in Iraq.
Mary: Who will bring them in?
Cindy: They can be shipped there. There is a website that says what they need and how you can help the people of Iraq. And not only that, but there is a crazy orphan problem now in Iraq. There are no orphanages and the people who have been orphaned by the U.S. occupation. The young children are left homeless and without any care, it's just a horrible crisis in Iraq right now. The American people and our government have all the responsibility for that and we should be helping them. There is something else a little bit off our subject today that I wanted to talk about and that is Bush's part on commuting the Scooter Libby sentence.
Mary: Did he commute?
Cindy: He commuted it and he hasn't ruled out pardoning Scooter Libby, giving him a total and complete pardon for his crime.
Mary: Was that in the news? I haven't seen the news for a few days.
Cindy: Yea, he commuted his sentence yesterday.
Mary: Oh my.
Cindy: I just wanted to let everyone know that my organization, Camp Casey Peace Institute and People for Humanity are going to start a walk from Atlanta, Georgia on July 13th to Washington, D.C. and we are going to end up there July 23rd. We are going to start a people's revolution for justice and for accountability. We will be posting details for that on Camp Casey's website. I think we need to start a new revolution, things are just getting too out of control.
Mary: We need a revolution for justice and a few things like that!
Cindy: Exactly, people's revolution.
Mary: But they aren't ruled by anything. Like I think about Bush and he doesn't care if people die. He probably never thinks about it and it just doesn't make any sense that somebody leading us, well..he doesn't lead our government, but somebody being there who doesn't care! Someone who just has HIS agenda and that's it!
Cindy: He has no human feelings, and you know the people of the ruling class of the late century
Mary: Right. You know last night Tom and D were with me and we were having a big discussion about the people running for the presidency and you know it is really hard. I would vote for the Green Party..
Cindy: I'm going to vote for anybody that's not for this war.
Mary: and some people have switched their identities, haven't they? Along the road…
Cindy: Everybody have a good tomorrow, I think that by next week on our next talk, I'll have the details about our walk for accountability and revolution.
Mary: I want sometime, and I hope everybody goes to see Michael Moore's movie, and I saw the part on Cuba and I cried because I love Cuba, and it pictured it as it is.
Cindy: You know we have to talk about Cuba because I've been to Cuba and I love it.
Mary: I've been there four times and then people still say you can't go. But next week we'll talk about your walk, okay?
Cindy: and then Cuba is a great future topic too, because it is the most fabulous country and people in our country need to understand it and not the rhetoric.
Mary: Oh we are completely propagandized against it. Another thing we need to talk about too is the propaganda machine that runs our country.
Cindy: Oh, absolutely. Okay everyone have a nice day!
Mary: Okay have a good day and thanks a lot!
