Iraqis Resort to Selling Children


Abu Muhammad, a Baghdad resident, found it difficult to let go of his daughter's hand but he had already convinced himself that selling her to a family outside Iraq would provide her with a better future.

"The war disgraced my family. I lost relatives including my wife among thousands of victims of sectarian violence and was forced to sell my daughter to give my other children something to eat," he told Al Jazeera.
Its certainly heartening to see that Bush's illegal occupation of Iraqnam is improving conditions for Iraqi residents. I wonder where selling children to survive a war fits into the Repignofascist Party concept of a family value?
