Some twenty years ago I had the good fortune to visit Hartford, Conn. for 12 weeks during which time I experienced the enormous friendship and hospitality of the American people. That pleasant memory now gives me a sense of great sorrow for Americans, who have to bear untold grief for lost sons and daughters in a pointless, illegal (British foreign office advice March 2002) war in Iraq. A war that has left so many orphaned children traumatized and dying of treatable diseases and malnutrition. (UNICEF Report March 2007); sanctions and war have completely wiped out a generation of children in that country. I now hope the American people will impeach G.W. Bush, their leader, to appear before The Hague for war crimes.
