Let the Numbers Speak
Dr. Souad N. Al-Azzawi, Associate Professor, Baghdad, Iraq, member of the BRussells Tribunal Advisory Committee
 |
March 25, 2009
Dear Friends,
I pride
myself in being a scientist and a researcher. I built my academic career on
theories and numbers. As a teacher, I teach my students that everything is
based in science - everything has reason. For this reason, I am always
frustrated with myself when I find I am overwhelmed with feelings on
specific topics.
One such
topic is the occupation of my country, Iraq. On this subject I find that I
cannot always be dispassionate. I cannot be the researcher and observer and
discuss it without feeling or emotion as I am sometimes expected to do. I
find myself doing research on the damages caused by the war and occupation,
and my head buzzes with anger, my eyes burn with tears of desperation at the
state of my country.
Six years
after the attack and the pain is as fresh and cutting as it was in March
2003. This year, I decided, I would view it as a scientist. I would not
attack the subject with emotion. I would let the numbers speak for
themselves. This year I will sit back and play the part of the analyst- the
researcher- on this topic that is closest to my heart.
Six years into the occupation…
- 72 months
of destruction
- $607
Billions spent on the war
- 2 Million
Barrels of oil being sold per day
- 2 Million
Displaced Iraqis inside of Iraq
- 3 Million
Iraqis forced to leave the country
- 2615
professors, scientists, and doctors killed in cold blood
- 338 dead
journalists
- $13
Billion misplaced by the current Iraqi government
- $400
Billion required to rebuild the Iraqi infrastructure
- 3 hours
average of electricity daily
- 24 car
bombs per month
- 7 major
mafias running the country
- 4260
Americans dead
- 10,000
cases of cholera per year
- 50 of my
friends dead
- 22 of my
relatives dead
- 15
abductions of close relatives and people I know and love
- At least
1.3 million Iraqis dead since 2003.
Six years
into the occupation and somehow, the numbers are not looking better. Year
after dismal year, the numbers of dead and displaced grow as we continue to
reap the rewards of an American occupation on our country.
So the
numbers speak for themselves. Six. Six months is what it took for most
Iraqis to realize no good could come of this war and occupation. Six years
is what it has taken the rest of the world. Six years, six million Iraqis
displaced inside and outside of Iraq- well over a million Iraqis dead or
dying inside of the country.
As a
scientist, as a researcher- it is a disaster that will never be sufficiently
documented with numbers or words. As a researcher, the numbers are so
astounding that we go back and recalculate to make sure they are real. As an
Iraqi, it is enraging. The numbers and statistics fill me with a rage and
shame that make my heart throb and my blood boil. It’s a rage towards all
who are silent and uncaring, and a shame at the little we all are doing.

| Comment by concernedhuman - 26 Mar 2009 - 22:26 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | With all the tyranny from NWO, Psy-Ops, GeneticAlterations, False-Flag Ops, Civi l Rights Violations and Global War, humanity is in distress and suffering. The r eason why I am recommending for people to read the Quran and research Islam is b ecause it mentions all this, directly and indirectly, and gives precise remedies against these problems. Knowledge shines through all this confusion. Empower your self with knowledge and seek the truth.
The Quran also reveals many scientific facts to prove over and over to its authe nticity.
Some of the revelations are:
-Creation
-Evolution
-Big-Bang
-Expanding Universe
-Beginnigs of Life from Water
-Atomic & SubAtomic Particles
-Relativity
-Motion
-Black Holes
-Pulsars
-Black Matter
-Astronomical Systems
-Geological Formations
-Biological Systems
-Ecological Systems
Remember; the oldest original written Quran, dated about 1400 years old, is at I stanbul Museum, Turkey, with many copies of it in the world including one in the British Museum. There are also around 30 million people in the world who have m emorized it whole, cover to cover, word by word by, letter by letter by heart in its originality as revealed, as the word Quran means "the recitation". So it is easy to cross-check anything about Islam.

As long as mankind always others to instigate wars and famine against innocent a nd defenseless countries, we will have these atrocities for years to come. Stop supporting the people that start these wars and stop paying taxes so the governm ent can give it to the military.
As long as mankind engenders hate towards his fellow man, we will continue to se e this happen.
I am ASHAMED to be called an american seeing these numbers and how many innocent humans we have killed. I'll bet peoples perspective would change if this same d evastation was happening in their neighborhood and city, and some of their famil y had been killed because some country doesn't like the way you live.
The elite governing politicians that started this war should be tar and feathere d on their "estates", then hung in the street. Just like they did to Saddam.
Hopefully, a meteorite will hit this planet soon and change mankind as we know i t. God knows we are not capable of changing things ourselves....

| Comment by cat callahan - 26 Mar 2009 - 23:11 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Concerning the statistics about Iraq, never mind! "Vengeance is mine,"saith our God."I WILL repay!" And what is He doing to the US which has blood on its hands? Just take a look at the American economy! Americans(of which I am one) have los t more jobs, homes, businesses, personal wealth than even in the Great Depressio n of the 1930s! I do not believe in war! We had no reason to attack Iraq! But no one would listen to us war protesters! We were considered unpatriotic!So the US followed George Bush-who didn't seem to have any idea of what to do after the 9/11 attacks! He wanted to go after Osama Bin Laden. So we went to Afghanistan. Still didn't get Osama and killed a bunch of innocent Afghanis! Decided somehow that Saddam Hussein was a friend of Osama! Totally untrue! So we go into Iraq! Did we accomplish anything? Did we catch Osama(if he was the guilty one, which I doubt)? No-only hurt more innocents! No wonder God is taking away our wealth! Will we ever learn? Who will listen to those of us who hate war? |
| Comment by candu - 26 Mar 2009 - 23:55 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Between the tick of time,like a flash before your eyes,the American economy is gone.
Americans will pay very dearly for following the Republicans and Democrats.
War mongers and fat cats one and all screamed war war war one the Day the Neoco ns brought down the towers in NY.
Though of little consequence to Iraqis I will never forget
about you and this holocaust.
The Americans are like animals there maybe a vestige of
good people there but slight in number and frail in voice
they are but a drop in the Ocean.
I am Canadian I tried my best to tell the Americans I spent 10 - 15 hours a day online trying to convince them of their blunder,all to no avail.
first they said WMDS ,then they said Saddam did 911,but then they said Saddam wa s a bad man. But I know Saddam was murdered and was a puppet of USA.by way of to rture,murder,rape and looting ,the Americans are now known as the beasts they a re.
The American people do not even have the back bone to arrest Bush for his deeds. the people of USA are shadows of their ancestors now and as such their fate is a lready sealed. where ever you go in the world now Americans are not welcomed and are treated like trash that they are.
Their own country is finished they drink water that are contaminated with pharma ceuticals,they dropped 1200 nuclear bombs on themselves,water is running out gr eed and
debauchery have consumed them. more than anything else they are death destroyers of worlds including their own country.
all of little consequence to an Iraqi but that is the only comfort there is for now. the world detests America for this crime their reputation is like the dirt under an Iraqi's fingernail,they are not worthy to shine the shoes of an Iraqi even.

| Comment by nicolae - 26 Mar 2009 - 23:59 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | JESUS WAS NOT A Jew
Benjamin H. Freedman, Jewish Historian - Researcher - Scholar.
From “Common Sense”, p. 2-1-53 and 5-1-59
“Christians have been duped by the unholiest hoax in all history, by so-called J ews. This is considered their most effective weapon.”
“This ‘big lie’ technique is brainwashing United States Christians into believin g that Jesus Christ was “King of the Jews”, in the sense that so-called ‘Jews’ t oday call themselves ‘Jews’. This reference was first made in English translatio ns of the Old and New Testaments, centuries before the so-called Jews highjacked the word ‘Jew’ in the 18th century A.D. to palm themselves off on the Christian world as having a kinship with Jesus Christ. This alleged kinship comes from the myth of their common ancestry with the so-called ‘Jews’ of the Holy Land in the Old Testament history, a fiction based on fable.”
“American Christians little suspect they are being brainwashed twenty-four hours of every day over television and radio, by newspapers and magazines, by motion pictures and plays, by books, by political leaders in office and seeking office, by religious leaders in their pulpits and outside their churches, by leaders in the field of education inside and outside their curricular activities, and by all leaders in business, professions and finance, whose economic security demands that they curry the favor of so-called “Jews” of historic Khazar ancestry. Unsuspecting Christians are subjected to this barrage from sources they have little reason to suspect. Incontestable facts supply the unchallengeable proof of the historic accuracy that so-called “Jews” throughout the world today of eastern European origin are unquestionably the historic descendants of the Khazars, a pagan Turko-Finn ancient Mongoloid nation deep in the heart of Asia, according to history, who battled their way in bloody wars about the 1st century B.C. into eastern Europe where they set up their Khazar kingdom. For some mysterious reason the history of the Khazar kingdom is conspicuous by its absence from history courses in the schools and colleges.
“The historic existence of the Khazar kingdom of so-called “Jews”, their rise an d fall, the permanent disappearance of the Khazar kingdom as a nation from the m ap of Europe, and how King Bulan and the Khazar nation in about 740 A.D. became so-called “Jews” by conversion, were concealed from American Christians by censo rship imposed by so-called “Jews”, of historic Khazar ancestry, upon all U.S.A. media of mass communications directed by them. Then in 1945 this author gave nation-wide publicity to his many years intensive research into the “facts of life” concerning Khazars. The disclosures were sensational and very effective but apparently angered so-called “Jews” who have continued to vent their spleen upon this author since then solely for that reason. Since 1946 they have conducted a vicious smear campaign against him, seeking thus to further conceal these facts, for obvious reasons. What have they to fear from the truth?
“In an original 1903 edition of the Jewish Encyclopedia in New York’s Public Lib rary, and in the Library of Congress, Volume IV, pages 1 to 5 inclusive, appears a most comprehensive history of the Khazars. Also in the New York Public Librar y are 327 books by the world’s greatest historians and other sources of referenc e, in addition to the Jewish Encyclopedia, dealing with Khazar history, and written between the 3rd A.D. and 20th centuries by contemporaries of the Khazars and by modern historians on that subject.” |
| Comment by nicolae - 27 Mar 2009 - 00:02 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Christ Was Not A Jew
Jesus Christ Was Not A Jew: Does this shock you? We certainly hope it does. For it is time that Christians woke up to the fact that they have been brainwashed b y the Jews with the “big lie technique” to the falsehood that Christ was a Jew.
We ask you now, to set aside all prejudice in the matter and as God states in th e Bible, “Come let us reason together.” (Isaiah 1:18)
There are two ways that a person can be a Jew; racially (which means a cross bet ween the descendants of Esau and True Israelites ‑ There is Edom [Esau is called Edom in Genesis 36:8. And Edom is in ‘Modern Jewry’ Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol. 5, p. 41) or religiously. Let us now see whether Christ fits either of these categories.
Ninety‑five percent of the people that we know as Jews today, are mongrels ; they are a product of the amalgamation of many races. The majority of the Jews are Asiatics, of Mongolian, stock, the descendants of the tribes of Khazars of Russia who accepted Judaism in 740 A.D.
They are the descendants of Cain; No racial Jew is an Israelite. That’s right, w e repeat, NO RACIAL JEW IS AN ISRAELITE. The Bible itself identifies the Jews as the seed of Cain thereby identfying Satan as their father. (John 8:44)
Christ said to the Jews, in the 23rd chapter of Matthew, verses 33‑35: “Yo u serpents, you generation (race) of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore behold I send you a prophet, wise men and scribes and some of t hem you shall kill and crucify and some of them yuo shall scourge in your synago gues and persecute them from city to city that upon you may come all the righteous blood that has ever been shed upon the earth from the blood of righteous Abel” (Note that carefully).
Here Christ is saying to the Jews that they are guilty of the murder of Abel. Je sus could not have said this unless the Jews were/are the descendants of Cain. C hrist goes on to say: “Unto the blood of Zacharias, son of Brachias who you slew between the temple and the alter.” It’s very plan! And it’s in your Bible.
Christ said to the Jews “You are guilty of the death of righteous Abel because y ou rfather Cain murdered him.” It is also well for you to note here that Jesus f urther blames these Jews for all the deaths of righteous people from the beginni ng of time right down to this day. This is not a statement of man but of our Red eem, our King, our Savior.
Christ never lied and spoke only the truth; every word contained in the sixty 209;six books of the Bible is the Word of Almighty God. Are the Jews then God’s Chosen People as some “fogbound, lying, deceiving, Judeo‑Chrisian Clergy” would have us believe? Far from it! Rather than being God’s Chosen People, they are Satan’s Children! Let us turn for proof of this, to the eighth chapter of John the 42nd verse. The Jews have just said to Christ, we are God’s Chosen People, God is our Father. Christ did not answer the Jews the way ninety‑nine percent of our Judeo‑Christian preachers would do today. Rather, He said in the 42nd vers, “If God were your Father you would love me for I proceeded forth and came from God. Neitherdid I come of myself, but He sent Me. Why is it that you do not understand my speech. It is because yuo cannot hear my words.” (Read carefully the 44th verse) where Christ said to the Jews, “Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks oa lie, he speaks of his own for he is a liar and the father of it.” |
| Comment by nicolae - 27 Mar 2009 - 00:02 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | The Word “Jew”
A Jew is a person whose religion is Jew‑dah‑ism (Judaism). The word Jew is not found in the original texts of the Scriptures, but in many English Bi bles the word is an incorrect rendering of the latin word Judaeus, the Greek wor d Ioudaios, and the Hebrew word Yehudi. Although not found in either the Hebrew or the Greek Scriptures, the word Jew is an English rendering most often incorrectly translated from Yahudah, that is, referring to one belonging to one of the tribes of Israel (Yisrael) called Yahudah (Judah), a Yahudite. The word Jews, the plural of the word Jew, is incorrectly translated most often from the word Yahudim (descendants of the tribe of Yahudah).
The letter ‘J’ was not in general use until after the 17th century as used in ma ny Bibles for the word ‘Jew’ to substitute for the correct word Yahudite, or Yah udim. In some English Bibles we have received the word Juda, also an error in tr anslation because the word derives from the Greek Iudaios, which in the English would be Judaios. Judaios was none other then a Greek diety (see W.H. Roscher’s lexicon of mythology).
As used in the Scriptures, the word ‘Jew’ is sometimes translated to refer to a Yudean (Judean) a native or inhabitant (which includes many diverse races and pe ople groups living in the region) of Yudea (Judea). As the word ‘American’ inclu des many diverse peoples living in the Country called ‘America’. The word very o ften refers to an advocate or adherent to the religion of the Yahudim, (Judaism), or it may in a few cases refer to a literal descendant of Abraham, Issac, Jacob/Israel, one of the descent of the tribe of Yahudah (Judah).
In present day generic usage, the word has no relationship to the Hebrew or the Greek translated words in the Old or New Covenant Scriptures, and is associated primarily through an adherent or advocate of Jew‑dah‑ism (Judaism) t he religion, but not through ethnics or race. Basically, a Jew is anyone who dec ides to call himself/herself a Jew. Within Jewish Circles, there are two other official ways one can become a Jew. One can be born from a mother who calls herself a Jew, or one can ‘convert’ to become a Jew. (A convert is called a ger which literally means stranger). Being born a Jew is pretty simple. If one’s mother is Jewish (of the Jewish religion) then he/she is considered a Jew, if one’s mother is not of the Jewish religion, then neither is the child officially a Jew. (It doesn’t matter what the father is).
Modern Jew‑dah‑ism began about 1000 AD, and is traced to Rabbenu Ger shon of Mainz, Germany the ‘Father’ of the Ashkenazi Jews, which constitute appr oximately 90% of the worlds Jews. Modern Jew‑dah‑ism is not the Scri ptural worship system of the Yahudim of the Scriptures.
Jews do not actively encourage conversion; to a large degree they discourage it. This is the reason Jews have never had missionaries trying to convert non‑ ;Jews. They want the convert but the convert must be 100% committed to being a J ew. Discouraging conversion helps to filter out those ‘lacking the proper degree ’ of commitment.
If the non‑Jew still wants to become a Jew, the male is circumcised. After he is healed, he immerses himself in a mikva. A mikva is a special pool of wate r which is used for many religious purposes in the religion of the Jews. (It mus t be made according to very specific rules). A female convert only has to immers e herself.
The term ‘Jew’, has come to be used synonymous with the term ‘Israel, Israelite’ , however, this is error. Scriptural Israelites were never called Jews, (Yahudim ), unless they were so associated by their religion. Most modern Jews are not of the tribe of Yahudah (Judah), and are not ‘Israelites.’ They are called Jew(s) because of their religion, Jew‑dah‑ism (Judaism). |
| Comment by nicolae - 27 Mar 2009 - 00:02 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Jew, Ashkenazi (Franco‑German, Eastern and Central European Jews)
After the Northern Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrian King Shalmane ser V, in 745‑722 BCE, (for their sin before Yahweh), the Israelites were exiled into (Assyria), 2 Kings 17:5‑7. They prospered during the years in Assyria, and became a huge number of people. Outgrowing the land area they event ually migrated North through the ‘Caucasus Mountains’, and into central and Western Europe forming the European Nations, and are known as Caucasians ‘whites.’ As these Israelites migrated they influenced many people groups, no longer having an organized religious priesthood, and not having a nation or national identity, these migrating people, descendants of Jacob/Israel nevertheless passed on their bits and pieces of the ancient Scriptural worship system which was corrupted through their many years of captive living in pagan Assyria. During the 7th century A.D. these bits and pieces of the corrupt worship system became a form of Jew‑dah‑ism and was embraced by the Khazar King, his court, and the Khazar military class, who are descendants of Ashkenaz. This new religion of Jew‑dah‑ism, became the religion of the Khazars, and forms most of modern cultic European Jewry.
In common parlance the present day ‘Jew’ is synonymous with the ‘Ashkenazi Khaza r Jew’. Scripture refers to the Ashkenaz in Gen. 10:3, and in I Chron. 1:6, as o ne of the sons of Gomer, who was a son of Japheth, son of Noah. Ashkenaz is also a brother of Togarmah (and a nephew of Magog) who the Kazars, according to King Joseph, (of the Kazars) claimed as their ancestor. The people who refer to themselves as Ashkenazi Jews are not Israelites, and they are not Semites because they do not descend from Noah’s son Shem. They are Ashkenazi Khazar Jews, who descend from Noah’s son Japheth. Approximately 85‑90 percent of the Jews in the world call themselves Ashkenazi Jews.
Present‑day Jew‑dah‑ism, was formally formed into it’s basic c ultic form about 1,000 years ago, (according to the Jews), when ‑ Rabbenu Gershon of Mainz, Germany, published a ban on bigamy. This marks the recorded be ginning of the Ashkenazi Jews*, and Franco‑German halachic** creativity. T he word ‘Ashkenazi’ is not Hebrew for the word Germany, although the name has become ‘associated’ with Germany because many Ashkenazi Jews organized in Russia, Eastern Europe and Western Mongolia.

After the Northern Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrian King Shalmane ser V, in 745‑722 BCE, (for their sin before Yahweh), The Israelites were exiled into (Assyria), 2 Kings 17:5‑7. The King then imported people group s from his country (Assyria) to replace the exiled Israelites to maintain and co ntrol the land of the exiles. The Sepharvaim were one of these people groups, along with Cuthahites, Arrahites, 2 Kings 17:24. They mingled with each other, along with Edomites, who had migrated Northward from Idumea (field of Edom), after Israel and the Yahudim (Judeans) were exiled. Adad and Anu were ancient gods of Babylonia and were also the gods of these pagan Sepharvaim people. The Sephardim Yudeans (Judeans) are a mongrel people whose descent is directly from a mixture of this Assyrian people group and the remnant of escaped Yudeans (Judeans) along with Edomites who had migrated into the land originally occupied by the Kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Yahudah (Judah). This made their religion also of mixed character, 2 Kings 17:24‑41.
The people known as “Spanish Jews,” are descended from the Canaanites, the peopl e who colonized Carthage. Following its sack by Rome, they adopted this Sepharva im, or Sephardim name for deceptive purposes and constitute 5% of world Jewry to day. The Sephardim Jews speak Latino, a mixture of Spanish and Hebrew. The Sepha rdim Jews migrated West through Egypt, then North into Spain from Judea and Samaria before, during, and after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE,. This migration became known as the “Jewish ‘Sephardim’ Diaspora”. Today, these Sephardim Jews are still using their ancient adopted name Sephardim (the spelling is a transliteration into English and not of significance). They settled in Spain, Portugal, the Eastern Mediterranean, Italy, the Balkans, Salonica and Macedonia, eventually emigrating into France and England, and Western Europe.
The Sepharviam Yudeans (Judeans) were known as Samaritans during the time of Mes siah, because they were living in Samaria, which was the area from which Israel was removed by the Assyrian King Shalmaneser V. The twelve apostles during the t ime if Messiah, were instructed not to enter the cities of the Samaritans, Matt. 10:5. Although the True Israelites of tribal descent, living in Samaria did received the witness of Yahshua and the message of redemption from the apostles, Acts, 1:8. Some of the mixed Samaritans also became proselytes to the Christian faith, Acts 8:4‑25.
The Sephardim Jews, (or Sepharviam Jews) are not of Israelite blood; they are no t of the tribe of Yahudah although they were called Yudeans, ‘Judeans’, as an in habitant, i.e. person living in the land originally occupied by the tribe of Yah udah of Israel). Their descent is mixed from Edom/Esau Canaanite stock. The Seph ardim Jews, like the Ashkenazi Khazar Jews are not a Semitic people. The word Sephardim is not a Hebrew word for Spain, although the name has become ‘associated’ with Spain because many Sephardim Jews organized in Spain. |

Jew‑dah‑ism, is a cultic (ritual‑istic) religion which origina ted approximately 1000 CE, and is traced to Rabbenu Gershon of Mainz Germany thr ough the publishing of his ‘halachic creativity’ (interpretation of Old Covenant laws), he thereby established the beginning of the modern cultic religion of Je w‑dah‑ism. Today the religion is also greatly influenced by the Babylonian Talmud, an ancient Pagan ritual‑listic system of various extreme opinions, interpretations, codes, rules, and regulations.
The modern cultic religion of Jew‑dah‑ism has nothing in common with the Scriptural Cultic system of worship which was completely destroyed by Messi ah as a religious system in 70 CE at the destruction of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) , Herod’s Temple, and through the establishment of the New Covenant through Yahs hua Messiah. Christianity, as a religious system of Faith, replaced the ancient system of Cultic (ritual‑istic) sacrificial worship.
Jewish
A term incorrectly applied to reflect anything pertaining to a Yahudite, a desce ndant of the tribe of Yahudah. In common use, the term ‘Jewish’ is now applied t o things pertaining to the Jews. Scriptural accuracy has no bearing on the use o f the modern term ‘Jewish’.See also the word ‘Israel’ |

| Comment by jake - 27 Mar 2009 - 00:31 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Many Americans did not agree to this war. But as ordinary citizens they don't ha ve a voice. Now we can look back and see how the USA was manipulated by the medi a and lied to by government officials. When the wheels of war start to spin it i s hard to stop them. |
| Comment by miriam - 27 Mar 2009 - 01:15 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | I don't see what Judaism has to do with this. Many, many Jews opposed this war. But, like in any community, you have people who do well out of war and they have joined up with Christians of similar persuasion to pursue their ends - oil from the Middle East, personal enrichment and domestic oppression. It has nothing to do with the religion. |
| Comment by james - 27 Mar 2009 - 01:30 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | These figures are obviously a painful personal and official documention of a mon strous injustice involving genocide and torture, which has been inflicted on you r people and country over a prolonged period of many years.
The awful truth as you point out is that this terrible suffering and oppression appears to have no real end in sight.I understand the invading US army are going to pull out the majority of their forces within the next two years ,but want to leave an occupation force of around 50,000-another disastrous number to add to your gruesome statistics.
That would surely be like a festering sore in the Iraqi psyche and only perpetua te this ongoing horror indefinitely for who knows how many more bloody years.
Your personal feelings of anger are shared collectively by many of us in the Wes t,and in my case the UK, who were unsuccessful in our efforts to stop what we kn ew was an illegal act of aggression by our own government(s)against an innocent people many thousand of miles away.
I applaud you for you dedication to researching what are gruesome and obscene st atistics.I fear though that until and unless the governments and their leaders - primarily Bush and Blair-who instigated this aggressive and unparalleled modern human catastrophe are fully held to account and accept their moral guilt and and take full responsibility for their part in these war crimes, these statistics will remain faceless and go unpunished.
Remember the now infamous quote by Donald Rumsfield when asked about Iraqi casua lities in the early years of the invasion, and his and inhumane and callous reto rt 'We don't do numbers'.
The U K government have finally aquiesced to a full inquiry of their involvement in the invasion of Iraq.This may be a very small step towards some kind of just ice and accountability.
Bush himself, as are all American presidents including the sainted but tainted O bama, merely puppets on political srings, briefly dangled and worked to fulfill the more sinister requirements of the few in the shadows who actually run the sh ow and create the kind of havoc now found in Iraq, Ahfganistan,and the land of P alestine.

Missing from this report i s the amount of territory left contaminated by thousands of tons of depleted ura nium. Under U.S. Homeland security standards for radiation levels, Baghdad and F allujah would both be completely evacuated. Areas of Lebanon and Gaza are also contaminated. |
| Comment by dogismyth - 27 Mar 2009 - 03:13 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | So if vengeance is not the answer, what do you suggest?
I think the scumbags like Rumsfeld, Cheney, Perle, Libby, Wolfowitz and many oth ers, along with the bankster gangsters should be tried and hung in public. Oops . I meant after they were found guilty.
This world sucks. It didn't suck before when i knew nothing about what was goin g on. I was too busy back then. since 2002, I have lost my job and have done m uch research. The truth is ugly pugly. Downright dastardly.
I don't care what your religion is. i don't care what your race is. i dont car e what sex you are. We the people of this planet must be united to stop the int ernational elitist that run this world into the ground. There are an evil bunch of snakes. Most of them inbred from within their own family. Intelligent, yes ....but socially retarded and deeply disturbed.\
My heart does go out to the people of Iraq, and those that continue to suffer. It must be difficult day to day. I wish I could help you.
remember who the enemy is. It is not your brother or sister. it is those that wear $5000 suits, drive 100,000 cars, live in castles, no compassion for their f ellow man, greedy, and never to be trusted. Ever. Those are who your anger and energy must be directed. Forever and ever until they are defeated. |
| Comment by dunewaif - 27 Mar 2009 - 04:53 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Dearest Doctor, I am as 'down home American as they come' and I can tell you the atrocity that has been committed on the Iraqi people also makes me hang my head in shame and boils my blood! These numbers are appalling, and yet they are far from complete. If not another bomb was dropped, the tragedy continues all the sa me quietly killing for generations to come, the unborn, the young and old and ALL the soldiers who breathe the DU. It has been a great crime, an incomprehensible act and my heart bursts with pent up emotion for the injustice and pain and suffering of your people. God forgive us all. |

| Comment by j.c - 28 Mar 2009 - 00:14 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | The sorrow of a million souls hangs over the head of every American who did not or would not stand up to the nazi regime' of dumya bush and his gay v.p dickie b oy. In this country they scream about all the children being aborted, but no one stands up for the children of Iraq or Palistine, where atrocities committed by the nazi jews and the jack booted american thugs sent to do the bidding of bush-chainey cartel. This new regime' that hussein is now head of is now building up in Afganistan (he is as ignorant as dumya bush if not more)so more innocent people die at their hands. It is time for all the common people to stand up and rid our world of this vile disgusting putred brand of humans. They are the problem in our world. |

| Comment by craig - 29 Mar 2009 - 08:03 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Dr. Souads statistics are of course appalling.
Even more appalling is that in war, for every person killed, about 7 or so are s eriously wounded with loss of eyes, limbs, mental function or other serious inju ry.
With about 1.3 million dead, there are then about 9.1 seriously wounded, or a to tal of 10.4 million dead or seriously wounded.
Add to that the 3 million who were forced to leave Iraq and we see a total of 13 .4 million Iraquis were violently or fatally affected by this war. This is of th e order of half the population of Iraq.
If one were to speak of terrorism, this is one of the most hideous examples of t errorism inflicted on a people of all time. And it will increase with the conseq uences of the terroristic use of depleted uranium in that country.
Iraq had done nothing to the United States, and was no threat to the United Stat es. Saddam Hussein's son in law Hussein Kamal who was head of the Iraq weapons p rogram at the time defected to the United States and told us that about 1995 ess entially all of Iraqs mass destructive weapons/programs had been dismantled, inc luding their nuclear, biological, and nerve gas programs. Vice president Cheney is known to have lied to a group of US Veterans about that, when he told them that Hussein Kamal came to the US and said that Iraq had nuclear, biological, and nerve weapons programs, neglecting to add that Kamal said all of those weapons/programs had been dismantled. By doing so, he completely reversed the meaning of what Kamal had said. Revelation of Cheneys lie was carried in the Chicago Tribune, but was kept from the American public by the tv media, controlled by the military/industrial/special interest "elite". I had no trust for the US media which clearly wanted the war, and would look for news at that time, and still, in other than US news and tv sources. The British Guardian carred the article about Cheneys lie, and noted the original source, The Chicago Tribune, which I then verified. You may also verify it by looking it up on the net.
Cheney knew there were no weapons, but wanted to attack Iraq to pursue military/ industrial/special interest goals.
The reasons given to the American people were all lies.
A TV media mogul was asked on TV about 2000 what was the greatest advance in the TV industry of the last 40 years. He looked around, almost surreptiously, as if not wanting to be heard, and then said " the ability to control public opinion" .
When the US media is controlled to influence public opinon, and congress is simi larly lobbied by military/industrial and special interest money in a way to driv e foreign policy, Americans are no longer living in a democracy. We are living i n a government controlled by a few, an oligarcy I suppose, which has the trappin gs of a democracy to keep the people happy.
One of very many examples. The democratic party primary debates. Senator Edwards was a very viable candidate (until he self destructed with his personal pecadil lo).
He had expressed his intention to mitigate the influence of special interests, a nd so was not acceptable to the powers that be. The debates were controlled by a major corporation, and Edwards was essentially excluded by the moderator. almos t all of the questions were directed to Obama and Clinton, and Edwards commented on that at the time. Essentially the corporate moderators question pattern destroyed Edwards chances of being selected as a presidential candate. So we had the trappings of democracy, a primary, but a primary with a rigged outcome. The "riggers" probably believed that in the environment of a Black man and a woman against a white knight in the republican party, the white knight would win. But even though the playing field favored the white knight, his own merits didnt, and the people saw that .
When the media are so controlled, you cant find the truth on tv or in many US ne ws sources. You have to look for the pattern of whats going on, look at media on both sides of the issue and then figure what is really going on.
Regards to all.
