And the extent of human suf­ fering-the 'collateral damage'-in this war becom es more apparent each day. The war has exacerbated the problems of what was already an intolerable life for a population almost wholly reliant on food aid and enduring what can only be described euphemistically as a health care system. The images of pre-war Iraq by Mathias Heng (left) are reminders of what life has been like after more than ten years of UN sanctions and a regim e that believed that violence was the only language Iraqis understood. Mathias is presently negotiating with a bureaucracy in absentia for permission to return to Iraq and document the effects of war. The urgent need for access to clean water and medical assistance is currently competing with commerce. British Minister for Trade Brian Wilson says he hopes that those who joined the US to form the 'coalition of the willing'- Britain, Australia and Poland-will be entitled to 'their fa ir share' of trade contracts in the new Iraq. The unseemly squabbling for the spoils of war was well under way even in the early days of the conflict. And the failure of the US to comply with existing international trade agreements suggests that it is not fond of sharing. In spite of the apparent jubilation of some Iraqis at the removal of Saddam's government, the thin veil of justification thrown over the conflict cannot mask the West's desire to revel in the potential wealth of a fully operational Iraqi economy. One wonders how long ago such designs were drawn. Meditations on the human condition feature throughout this issue of Eureka Street. The cover illustration, a detail from di Paolo's 'The Creation of the World and the Expulsion from Paradise' (page 28) reflects our fascination with questions of origin and existence, and leads quickly-in the Judea-Christian view at least- to a contemplation of the relationship between good and evil, and meaning and suffering.
