This is real news.
I browsed around to Totronto which is pigNews as the 'white factor' in SARS (all my anti-racist insults go here ....) ...look what I find in as the Editorial of the Toronto Star.
The editor is human not a pig like all those ignorwe the Iraqis.
BTW Liam Fox was pigTV asking UK to usher in laws to quarantine without consent...so watch out you could be framed for SARS if you protest too much.. they might give it to you also....

Editorial: Rush Iraq aid now
"This country has collapsed. Nothing works. No phones. No electricity. No schools. No proper medical care. No transportation. Nothing."
That's how Roland Huguenin-Benjamin of the Red Cross describes Iraq, weeks after the Americans toppled Saddam Hussein's tyranny.
Today, 23 million Iraqis need everything from a civil service and police to hydro, water, food, health care and garbage pickup. Rebuilding will cost $20 billion a year, maybe more.
Given this urgent need, it would be inhumane to deny Iraqis assistance because U.S. President George Bush's first "pre-emptive" war was unnecessary and illegitimate, and has spawned a civil disaster. People are hurting, and need help.
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien did well to keep Canada out of the war, and once it ended he was correct to offer $100 million — through the United Nations — to begin rebuilding. There's no contradiction here.
If we can help by dispatching a Canadian Forces Disaster Assistance Relief Team (DART) to provide hydro, water, health or other services, we shouldn't hesitate for misplaced fear of shoring up a U.S. occupation.
The same goes for dispatching Royal Canadian Mounted Police or other police services, to train and rebuild the Iraqi police force, to prevent anarchy from spreading.
Canadian military aircraft can also be used to ferry aid supplies.
Committed as Canada is to sending 1,500 combat troops to Afghanistan, any military/police role will necessarily be modest. Nor should our troops play any role policing the country. Iraqis must do that.
But if we can assist, we should. To encourage others. And let's not spend weeks debating this, and drawing up lists of options for ministers to weigh. Let's get into the field now, while we can do some good.
After 23 years of Saddam, two wars, U.N. sanctions and this invasion, Iraqis deserve relief.
Victory to the people of Iraq.
