NEW YORK - About 25 students and others took part in a meeting at the City College of New York (CCNY) to protest U.S. war moves against Iraq. The November 25 program was sponsored by the CCNY Coalition, ROOTS, and the Student Liberation Action Movement (SLAM). The panel of speakers included a student representing the CCNY Coalition and SLAM, who recalled the participation of CCNY students in protests against Washington's assault on Iraq in 1991. Dr. M.T. Mehdi of the Arab American Relations Committee described the devastating effects of the U.S.-led embargo against Iraq. Nancy Rosenstock, a member of the International Association of Machinists representing the Socialist Workers Party, urged participation in pickets against any further escalation of Washington's war moves. A wide-ranging discussion followed. One student commented, "I'm from Sudan. I don't like the U.S. embargo of our country. If something needs to be changed, we should change it ourselves."
