US DECLARES IRAQIS MUST DESTROY THEIR OWN SEEDS

As part of sweeping "economic restructuring" implemented by the Bush
Administration in Iraq, Iraqi farmers will no longer be permitted to save
their seeds, which include seeds the Iraqis themselves have developed over
hundreds of years.

Instead, they will be forced to buy seeds from US corporations. That is
because in recent years, transnational corporations have patented and now
own many seed varieties originated or developed by indigenous peoples.

In a short time, Iraq will be living under the new American credo: Pay
Monsanto, or starve.
