Dear Brainwashed, That's a nice list of facts you present. Too bad you're so confused as to who the bad guys are in the horror show called Iraq. Here's are two examples of how well the Bush Crime Family has done at fooling you: You say: Over the past five years, 400,000 Iraqi children under the age of five died of malnutrition and disease, preventively, but died because of the nature of the regime under which they are living OK, you could have gone back all the way to the 1991 war and gotten exactly comparable figures. About 100,000 excess child deaths per year. But why? The principal reason is because of actions of the U.S. government. Don't believe me? Reed this manual of death: gulflink.osd.mil This is a planning document from the Department of Death. It laid out in plain, cold, hard detail exactly how to perpetrate a genocide. And then the dirty bastards in our Air Force went ahead and destroyed all these water treatment facilities at the end of the 1991. None of these facilities was in any way a military target. All of them were damaged or destroyed as part of a vicious racist campaign of genocide. What did we do then? The U.S. government imposed a 12 year sanction regime. We refused to ship chlorine to Iraq, claiming it was a dual use chemical and could be used for WMD programs. But what the cynical bastards in the White House were really guaranteeing was dirty, fetid and diseased drinking water for Iraq's poor people. When confronted about this genocide in 1997, the then Ambassador to the U.N., Madeleine Albright, said blithely that this was "an acceptable cost to our policy". *********** Re: 250,000 people were killed during the uprisings There would have been no uprisings without the incitement of George Herbert Walker Bush, who told the Shiites and Kurds to rise up against Saddam. And then he stood by as Saddam flew his attack helicopters through our lines in order to mow down those who had been betrayed by Bush. *************** Frankly, I'm a little surprise and disappointed that you know so little about the history of Iraq.
