It's condescending for an Iraqi man, who lives and works in Iraq, through the sanctions and wars, to work to supply medical relief for his own people?

Look, if you carry out your argument to the extreme, which you are doing, all forms of protest can only be accomplished within the context of a one party system - that there are no limits to the one-party system - everyone is part of it, no matter how much they work to destroy or change it into something else. Why don't we kill all of us, then? What's the point of living or letting anyone live? All humans are part of the one massive party, then?

My point is that the people who were captured are NOT part of "the system" in any way, shape, or form. Read the article below.

ADC Calls for Release of Humanitarian Aid Workers Abducted in Iraq

September 9, 2004 - The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) calls for the release of two Italian and two Iraq humanitarian aid workers who were abducted in Iraq. All four are members of Bridges to Baghdad, an Italian non-governmental organization which has provided assistance to the Iraqi people since 1992.

ADC President Mary Rose Oakar asked that their captors release them unharmed. “On behalf of the Arab-American community, I ask that they be set free. They are committed friends of the Iraqi people, and their work has earned them the right to the gratitude of all people of honor.”

Simona Torretta and Simona Pari are Italians, and Ra'ad Ali Abdul Azziz
and Mahnoaz Bassam are Iraqis. Turretta has spent a third of her life for Iraq and was joined by Pari last year. She is the head of Bridges’ programs in Iraq, which include running clinics and repairing water infrastructure and schools. Pari organizes educational programs for traumatized children. Azziz is an engineer working on school projects, and Bassam works on the social program. Bridges workers have risked their lives to deliver food, water, blood and medicine to civilians trapped in the ongoing military conflict in Fallujah and Najaf. They have helped to strengthen Iraqi human rights organizations.

The international peace and human rights community has responded to their abduction with strong and widespread appeals for their release. For information on this campaign, please check the Voices in the Wilderness website: http://vitw.org/unponteper.html (the source for these photos).
