Gulf War stirs up memories

I was a scrawny ten-year-
old kid when the Second World
War drew to its cataclysmic
close.

We lived in a little town in
Franconia to which my moth-
er and I had been evacuated,
after Duesseldorf, the city of
my birth, had been reduced to
a giant pile of rubble.

The thunder of the advanc-
ing U.S. artillery had been
growing steadily louder for the
past few days, and it was only
a matter of hours before the
American advance _ forces
would roll over our little vil-
lage.

We were sick with fear, be-
cause we knew only too well
what the Americans did to
children. Radio reports had
told of unspeakable atrocities
committed against women
and children by the advancing

Americans.

Raping nuns, we were told,
was one of their favorite
sports. In several towns, the
reports said, children had
been nailed to barn doors to
die slowly in horrifying agony.

Curiosity, however, got the
better of me, and I stood out-
side our house as the first
American tanks rolled into the
village, hatches open, soldiers
on top, their machine guns
trained at street and first-
storey level.

To my horror, the lead tank
stopped right in front of our
house, and a couple of soldiers
jumped off the tank and ap-
proached me. I was convinced
that this was it, when one of.
them picked me up and said
something to me.

When I didn’t answer, he
fished in his pocket and came
out with a bar of chocolate. He
put me down again, ruffled my
hair, and the pair climbed
back onto the tank, and the
column proceeded.

Ihad been introduced to the
reality of battle-weary soldiers
taking pity on the innocent

victims of war — the children. I

was a far cry from propagan-

da we had been fed. __

I was too young then to un-
derstand that the manufac-
ture of atrocity stories is an ef-
fective means of rallying peo-

‘ple around a cause, good or

bad, and the method works
best when the alleged victims
are women and children.

It happened again, less
than a year ago, and as so of-
ten before, we believed the
propaganda. We all remember
how the world recoiled in hor-
ror when the Iraqi baby-killer
story hit the news.

Invading Iraqi soldiers, we
were told, stole 300 incuba-
tors, throwing Kuwaiti babies
on hospital floors and leaving
them to die. That was in the
summer of 1990.

Two weeks ago, CBC’s Fifth
Estate, debunked the story. In
what amounts to a great piece
of journalism, proved that the
incubator story was the prod-
uct of a sophisticated $11 mil-
lion public relations campaign
by the Kuwaiti government.

They identified a 15-year-
old “Kuwaiti refugee” who pro-
vided the only alleged eyewit-
ness account as. Nayirah al-
Sabah, daughter of the
Kuwaiti ambassador the Unit-
ed States and Canada.

Alas, that fake story can be
given a lot of credit for having
started the war. It was the im-
age of helpless infants dying
on the hospital floor that was

Gusted most often by politi-
cians speaking in favor of en-
tering the war against Iraq.

Urging Canadian participa-
tion, then Defence Minister
Bill McKnight said, “I would
ask you, how long do you allow
babies to be thrown out of in-
cubators?”

In the U.S., where the Sen-
ate resolution authorizing
President Bush to go to war
was passed by a thin five-vote
margin, at least seven sena-
tors cited the baby incubator
story before voting for the war
resolution.

Bush himself use the story
when he compared Iraqi Pres-
ident Saddam Hussein to
Adolf Hitler.

And even Amnesty Interna-
tional, the respected human
rights organization, swal-
lowed what the Fifth Estate
called “the big lie of the Gulf
crisis”. In ‘a report on torture,
rape and executions of con-
quered Kuwaitis by Iraqi sol-
diers, Amnesty International
included the incubator story

“with an estimate of 312 dead

babies.

When I first heard about
the incubator horror story, all
sorts of alarm bells went off. I
remembered the stories about

soldiers raping
nuns and nailing children to
barn doors. I concluded that
the story may be true, but
probably wasn't.

Few wars are fought over
principles. The war against
Traq was not fought to liberate
a gallant people and restore
democracy to Kuwait.

The family that has ruled

Kuwait with more than pass-

ing disregard for human
rights and démocratic princi-
ples has even now no intention
of changing its style.

The moral of it all is to be
very wary of politicians trying
to whip up support for a war,
especially if they cite atrocities
against women and children.

Fruit growers get needed grants

A $4 million replant pro-
gram for pear, apple and soft
fruit trees was announced re-
cently by provincial Minister
of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Food Bill Barlee and federal
Minister of Agriculture Bill
McKnight.

Federal and provincial gov-
ernments are each contribu-
tion $2 million in 1992. The
federal funds are part of the
Farm Support and Adjust-
ment Measures program an-
nounced last year.

Applicants with a mini-
mum of one hectare in tree
fruit production may be eligi-
ble for grants of up to $7,500
per hectare ted. Supple-

ment ts of 50'cents per

tree are available to growers

who install fertigation, an en-
vironmentally sensitive sys-
tem which delivers nutrients
and water through a closed ir-
rigation system.

To be eligible, an applicant
must have removed from pro-
duction within the last three
years an area of orchard at
least equal to the area to be re-
planted. The replant program
must have the support of a
professional horticulturist or
provincial ministry field staff.

The implementation of the
replant program will be a co-
operative effort of the Okana-
gan Valley Tree Fruit Author-
ity (OVTFA) and grower asso-
ciations. Application forms
will be available at packing
houses.

Completed application
forms must be received by the
OVTFA by March 15 to be giv-
en priority consideration for
spring plantings, The applica-
tion deadline for all spring
plantings will be May 15, and
the deadline for summer and
fall plantings will be Oct. 31.

The Vehicle Roadway Across the Hugh
Keenleyside Dam will be
CLOSED TO ALL TRAFFIC
FEB. 4TH & FEB. 5TH
