Looks like a war propaganda note from the 1990s Gulf War; such notes are often produced in times of war, airdropped over civilian areas prior to a ground invasion or to attempt to incite a local uprising. This website is old and hard to read but full of useful information on the subject. Your note appears to be of the type listed there as number E09, said to have been dropped over the Kurdish regions in February 1991, to incite them to revolt.

The website offers the following translation: "There is no difference between your money and this paper. What are the things that are available and those which are not found in your country? Disease spread but there are no medicines. Starvation spreads but there is no food. Filth exists but there is no water of soap. Darkness envelops but the electricity is cut off. You are distressed and you need him but your husband is not with you. You are afraid of Saddam but your opposition to him is overdue. The danger of death is staring at you but you have no intention to alter your fate. Soldier, civilian, elders, youth, women, men, the time has come for you to respond to the call of duty. Let us fill the streets and lanes in order to bring Saddam and his supporters down."
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

That's a very interesting piece of history. Would these have been dropped by the United States?
