Eventhough the war ended in 1988 after Iran accepted the 598 Security Council Resolution, we still have reports of the martyrdom of victims of chemical warefare. The human and psychological scars are immense. The international community did not react properly to the crimes of the regime of Saddam at that time. The US administration was supporting Saddam with hopes that he would contain the advancement of the Islamic Revolution. This is a strong reason why we all should work for peace that is just and sustainable.
This news item is an eye-opener; how long can the world order be held up by a system of in-human double standards? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080709/ts_nm/iran_iraq_chemical_dc;_ylt=Aud9eLGXh2SW2_SC6TboC_xg.3QA
