Description: 

Helen Caldicott, founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility, discuss the Gulf War in human terms. She points to the economic motivations, the slim reasons for going to war, international arms sales, and the changing evaluation of Saddam Hussein by the United States foreign diplomates. She rejects the war as a United Nations led action, arguing instead that it was really a United States effort. War is obsolete, she continues, and the danger of nuclear war highlights the potential dangers. We have ten years to save the world from: species extinction, overpopulation, global pollution, and nuclear war. These, she concludes, must be the goal of humans around the world.
