How would you feel if some foreign country was to come in after a war or conflict and restrict the goods that could be imported to your country? Would you just sit back and let it happen, or take a stand? If you couldn't take a stand, how would you feel, if other people who could take a stand did not help?  If you are not sure of what is currently being banned in Iraq, then please read over the items and then write, fax, or call your representatives to let them know that you have a problem with the sanctions.
