Racist West IGNORES 4th anniversary of Iraq Invasion & 1 MILLION post-invasion Iraqi excess deaths

The 4th anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq – 1 MILLION post-invasion excess deaths later - has been marked by very modest demonstrations around the world in Western countries e.g. 300 in Melbourne, Australia; 300 in Copenhagen, Denmark, 1,200 in Barcelona, the radical heart of Spain. Yet 4 years ago - 1 MILLION excess deaths ago - MILLIONS (150,000 in Melbourne, Australia) demonstrated around the world against the impending invasion.

For a picture of the demonstration in Melbourne that we attended with about 300 others (according to Australian TV news; possibly 1,000) see the photograph in the following article from Australian ABC News On-line:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitem... .

OUR 2-sided placards read: “1 MILLION IRAQI DEAD” and “2.4 MILLION AFGHAN DEAD” (for detailed, quantitative, documented and authoritative accounts of these estimates see (see: http://open.newmatilda.com/crosswir... and http://mwcnews.net/content/view/132... ; for further details see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/137... and
http://mwcnews.net/content/view/137... ).

Racist White Australia simply ignores its complicity in the ongoing mass murder of Asians – 1.0 million Western Asian Arab excess deaths in Occupied Iraq and 2.4 million South Asian excess deaths in Occupied Afghanistan.

In 1945 ordinary GERMANS simply said that they “didn’t know” about the World War 2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million victims). Of course in 2007 most Anglo-Americans (Anglo-Celtians) STILL have not heard of the World War 2 man-made Bengal Famine (4 million victims) in British-ruled India (suggested by Colin Mason in his “A Short History of Asia” (Macmillan, London, 2000) to have been due to a DELIBERATE British scorched earth policy to discourage possible Japanese invasion from Burma.

History ignored or denied means history repeated. South Asia – particularly West Bengal (population 85 million) and Bangladesh (population 152 million) is under immense threat from American and Australian Climate Criminals who are threatening these places with carbon dioxide pollution and consequent global warming-induced inundation by rising sea levels (see:
http://open.newmatilda.com/crosswir... ).

Not content with 1.5 billion excess deaths in British-ruled India over 2 centuries, Anglo-Celtia is still actively involved in the conquest, occupation and mass murder of Asians. Bush’s War on Terror is in harsh reality a War on Women and Children, a War on Asian Women and Children, a War on South Asian Women and Children, a War on Muslim Women and Children, a War on Arab women and Children and a War on Afghan Women and Children.

The following LETTER is being sent to media throughout the world to mark the 4th anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq by Anglo-Celtic armies on March 20, 2007. PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE to ensure that the AWFUL TRUTH is only a few mouse clicks away.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Four years after the illegal US-UK-Australian invasion of Iraq, how many Iraqis have died post-invasion?

Post-invasion Occupied Iraqi excess deaths (avoidable deaths, deaths that did not have to happen) now total ONE MILLION as of March 2007, after 4 years of war and as estimated from data from the top US medical epidemiology group in the World’s top Public Health School (the Nobel Laureate-containing Bloomberg School of Public Health) at the top US Johns Hopkins University, published peer-reviewed in the top UK medical journal The Lancet and endorsed by 27 top Australian medical experts. [1-3]

Consonant with post-invasion excess deaths in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories totalling 1.0 million and 2.4 million, respectively, the post-invasion under-5 year old infant deaths total 0.5 million and 1.9 million, respectively; the number of refugees total 3.8 million and 3.8 million, respectively; and, according to WHO, the annual per capita medical expenditures permitted by the Occupiers are $64 and $23, respectively, as compared to $2,874 (Australia), $2,389 (UK) and $5,711 (US). [4-10]

The accrual cost (i.e. the long-term committed cost) of the Bush Iraq and Afghan Wars is now $2.5 TRILLION, this estimate coming from 2001 Economics Nobel Laureate and former Chief Economist of the World Bank US Professor Stiglitz (Columbia) and Professor Linda Bilmes (Harvard), who also estimate a cost of $6.5 million for each US soldier killed. Assuming the “all men are created equal” this leads to a Reparations Bill of $ 6.5 million x 3.4 million = $22 trillion. [11 -12]

These horrendous outcomes indicate gross violation by the US Alliance of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (notably Articles 38, 55 and 56), UN Genocide Convention (specifically Article 2) as well as of the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Rights of the Child Convention. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. We are inescapably obliged to inform everyone about horrendous abuses of humanity. [13-16]

Yours sincerely,
Dr Gideon Polya

  • Yawn! Iraqis are their own worst enemy. I’m sick of hearing it. Just yesterday they were celebrating the anniversary by killing each other with chlorine bombs. Why waste any more of our troops bringing them "freedom"? Nuke them! Christians are so weak and pathetic. If Iraq and Afgahnistan were glowing in the dark, there would be no terrorists. Now fer krissakes stop your whining.

  • ...blame the violence on everything, but don’t blame it on the Iraqis. I’m sick and tirede to hear that. The victims are accused of attrocities. This is ridiculous.
