Re: Iran and Iraq Discuss POW-MIAs
Date: April 25, 1999
Nearly 4,806 POWs remain unaccounted-for from the Iran-Iraq War that raged for 8 years beginning in 1980.
Iran states that 2,806 of her POWs have not been returned... Iraq counters with 2,000 Iraqi POWs unaccoted-for. And along the way, animosity, politics and counter-charges get in the way of a humanitarian effort... accounting for and repatriating POWs.
Iran claims it holds no POWs and Iraqi soldiers within her borders refuse to return to Iraq.
Sound familiar?
The politics of POWs has to go... it is a humantarian issue plain and simple.
