I suggest that the worst environmental crime of the
past 100 years was the deliberate destruction of the marshes of Southern
Iraq. This was possibly the most important wintering site for Paleartic
waterfowl.
The sooner the butcher of Baghdad is removed from
power the better. I hope the US and others who will remove this monster and his
regime will reconsitute the marshes.
