Kuwaitis were killed when Iraq
invaded Kuwait," Cockburn
said. "Was it worth killing a
100,000 Iraqis to even up the
score?"
Cockburn said when America
talks about a "just" war, it has to
question whether justice was
done.
"In my view (the war) was a
punitive demonstration," he
said. "The United States wanted
to say that this is what happens
when people get out of line. "
Hitchens added that the war
was an attempt to save President
Bush's credibility. Hitchens said
Bush wanted the world to know
U.S. authority cannot be ques
tioned.
United Nations relief workers
in Iraq said the devastation from
bombing is of "apocalyptic" pro
portions, Cockburn said. Iraq
has been bombed back into the
19th century, he said.
"Bush said he had no quarrel
with the Iraqi people," Cockburn
said. "Well, the Iraqi people are
paying a terrible toll in their
smashed drainage systems, sew
age and water systems.
"This has a tremendous toll in
just disease, like cholera and
typhoid," he said. "There will be
a lot of dying for a long time."
Wypijewski said although the
war only lasted 100 days, it was
encouraging to see thousands of
military resisters.
"It is important to support re
sistance, '' she said. "Support
doubt. Support those who ques
tion the war."
Cockburn said these issues
were never mentioned in the
mainstream press, but were
raised by the alternative press.
"At these crisis points is when
you need an alternative press,"
Cockburn said. "Information is
there although sometimes there
is a struggle to get it. When you
have totalitarianism unanimity,
that is when the alternative me
dia counts."
Hitchens said the alternative
press is necessary because
mainstream media simply report
what the government says and
offer no insight.
"Whenever you pick up a pa
per, see how many stories are
simply about what the govern-
ment just said, one-way govt
