These were people who were putting up no resistance, many with no weapons, leaving in cars, trucks, carts, and on foot. The American armed forces bombed one endof the main highway from Kuwait City to Basra, sealing it off andthen bombed the other end of the highway, sealing it off. Theypositioned mechanized artillery units on the hill overlooking thearea and then, both from the air and the land, massacred every livingthing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armoredbattalions poured merciless firepower on those trapped in the trafficjams, backed up as much as 20 miles. One U.S. pilot reportedlysaid, It was like shooting fish in a barrel. That fateful stretchof road has since been dubbed the Highway of Death.In a report submitted to the Commission of Inquiry for theInternational War Crimes Tribunal, charges are made that those killedwere Palestinian and Kuwaiti civilians trying to escape the siege ofKuwait City and the return of Kuwaiti armed forces. The report claimsthat no attempt was made by U.S. military command to distinguishbetween military personnel and civilians.*****The Guardian newspaper in the UK has written of the 9000Iraqis killed by the RAF bombs in 1920, one of the 6 timesBritish oil interests have violated the people of Iraq in thelast 86 years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Show me an actress who isn't a personality and I'll show you a woman who isn't a star. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Show me an actress who isn't a personality and I'll show you a woman who isn't a star.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past-- For years fleet away with the wings of the dove-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23825]]></link><description><![CDATA[When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past-- For years fleet away with the wings of the dove--  The dearest remembrance will still be the last,   Our sweetest memorial the first kiss of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1492]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The next best thing to being witty one's self, is to be able to quote another's wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61845]]></link><description><![CDATA[The next best thing to being witty one's self, is to be able to quote another's wit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people repent their sins by thanking God they ain't so wicked as their neighbors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53841]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people repent their sins by thanking God they ain't so wicked as their neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try to relax and enjoy the crisis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try to relax and enjoy the crisis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts.
