Story: Doubts that
Iraq’s acceptance of resolution will hold off war
In another warning to Saddam Hussein, U.S. officials said
Thursday that Iraq must not ``play games'' with U.N. weapons
inspectors and they disputed Iraq's claim not to have nuclear,
chemical or biological weapons. ..Anthony Arnove, Editor of
Iraq Under Siege says Saddam had very little choice but to
accept the resolution and he doubts it will stave off the
Bush administrations’ drive towards war.

in communist theory while opposing social injustice. In this
piece from the Houston Independent Media Center and Pacifica
station KPFT, Honore Brown and Renee Feltz examine how new
people lending their voices to the growing opposition to an
attack on Iraq are introduced to these sentiments at mass
anti-war demonstrations.
