New York Times: Standoff With Iraq
For  a historical background on the U.S./Iraqi standoff, as well as breaking news, this Times site is an excellent resource. All in one place, you can find archived articles from the end of the Gulf War in 1991 to the most recent U.S. patrols over the Iraqi no-fly zone. Don't miss interactive pop-ups with information and graphics explaining the U.N. inspectors' methods, where Iraq's weapons sites might be, and the country's vast oil supplies. A detailed timeline of the past decade's developments further illustrates how we got to where we are today. There's even video from correspondents in Iraq and the Persian Gulf area. Under the Related Documents heading, you'll find complete texts for everything from the U.N. call to disarm, Congress' resolution authorizing military force, and the Iraqi letter allowing inspectors to return. While most articles play it straight, trust the Times to offer an unusual angle, as a feature on an Iraqi painter who specializes in portraits of Saddam illustrates. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. (in Government > Politics) |
