Mr. Speaker. the fierce controversy that surrounded the indecision and delay by the administration over the question of providing humanitarian assistance to the Kurdish refugees huddled high in the mountains of northern Iraq Is going to look retrospectively tame compared to the coming debate on aid to the civilians in Iraq proper.

Because a crisis of mammoth proportion is brewing up around the destroyed infrastructure of Iraq. Incredibly. the State Department diplomats insist on paying homage to the principle of sovereignty within international bordersregardless of the genocide being committed within those borders.
