was seismographed and planned for drilling. I'm sure Monsanto will introduce these farmers to seeds that can propogate on asphalt, cement, wherever .......... who needs actual farmland? http://www.gmwatch.org/latest-listing/1-news-items/5908-the-last-days-of-mexican-corn

"?Native seeds are under siege from pole to pole. In Iraq, where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers come together to form the birthplace of agriculture, one of the very first acts of George Bush's neo-colonial satrap L. Paul Brenner was to issue the notorious Order 81 criminalizing the possession of native seeds. The U.S. military spread out throughout the land distributing little packets of GMO seeds, the euphemistically dubbed Operation 'Amber Waves.' To make sure that Iraq would no longer have a native agriculture, the national seed bank, located at Abu Ghraib, was looted and set afire."


Sarcasm aside, this is heartbreaking. Iraq has long been 'the birthplace of agriculture'. What else has this lying war destroyed.
