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[We issued gorged with knowledge, and I spoke: "Why, Sirs, they do all this as well as we."  "They ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23012]]></link><description><![CDATA[We issued gorged with knowledge, and I spoke: "Why, Sirs, they do all this as well as we."  "They hunt old trails" said Cyril, "very well;   But when did woman ever yet invent?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64476]]></link><description><![CDATA[Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no trouble with my enemies.

It will often be his duty, therefore, to establish a certain economy in the internal life of the Church, so that people are released to give time and energy to fulfilment of their Christian duty in the worlds of industry or politics or business or professional life, where their most determinative decisions have to be taken. A new puritanism is urgently needed in most churches, which cuts away ruthlessly from their life all organizations and activities which prevent their members from grappling with their real task.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53014]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend.
