Representative Tony Hall of Ohio decided to take a little
trip to Iraq to see if there really are ill and starving
children there.
One father, carrying his sick son in his arms, pleaded with
the congressman: "Don't you have a conscience? Don't you have
a God? My child is going to die and there's nothing I can do
for him."
...
Mr Hall said that, although 70 congressmen in the US had
recently asked Washington to reconsider its policy on Iraq,
the majority of Americans were not aware of the situation.
Judging by his website, the
congressman has made hunger, both domestic
and international,
one of his key issues.
