US state terrorism & Bush victims include 60,000 post-2001 AMERICAN opioid drug deaths

US state terrorism is only possible because of lying by omission by unethical Anglo-American media and politicians.
IGNORING mass mortality simply ensures its continuance and also constitutes utterly repugnant holocaust denial - but that is exactly what Anglo-American Mainstream Media are doing in relation to the Iraqi, Afghan and domestic AMERICAN victims of the Bush Wars.
US Mainstream Media utterly ignore 2.3 million post-invasion Iraqi and Afghan avoidable (excess) deaths - and ALSO ignore the restoration by the US-led Coalition of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry that caused about 60,000 AMERICAN drug deaths (see Newsvine: http://gpolya.newsvine.com/_news/20... ). Bush, Blair, Dr Rice (Dr Death) and cronies may escape the International Criminal Court - but face arraignment for DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE to mass murder of Americans under US law.
The National Drug Threat Assessment 2005 (February 2005) of the US National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) provided the following latest estimates of potential Afghan heroin production in metric tons and as a percentage (%) of world production: 218.0, 60.9% (1999), 365.0. 69.9% (2000), 7.0, 5.3% (2001), 150.0, 61.3% (2002), 337.0, 78.9% (2003) and 582.0, 87% (UNODC figure) (2004) (see US NIDC report: http://www.usdoj.gov/ndic/pubs11/12... ; also see UNODC statistics: http://www.unodc.org/pdf/WDR_2005/v... ).
According to an expert Australian drug research group, about 7 million people die each year from drugs, the breakdown being about 5 million (tobacco), 1.8 million (alcohol) and 0.2 million (illicit drugs) (see: http://db.ndri.curtin.edu.au/media.... ).
The 2.3 million excess deaths (avoidable deaths) in post-invasion US-occupied Iraq and Afghanistan have largely occurred because of NON-PROVISION by the Occupying Coalition of the life-preserving requisites unequivocally demanded of Occupiers by the Geneva Conventions (see: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm ). However racist, lying Mainstream Media will simply NOT REPORT this carnage - nor the 1.8 million post-invasion under-5 infant deaths in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories.
There have approximately 60,000 AMERICAN opioid drug-related deaths (SO FAR) since the US occupation of Afghanistan - and these are substantially due to the restoration under US occupation of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry from about 5% of the world heroin market (2001) to about 90% at present. About 3,200 Britons, 1,200 Scots, 3,000 Canadians and 1,600 Australians have died from opioid drug-related reasons since the US-led invasion of Afghanistan (see: http://www.countercurrents.org/us-p... and http://www.aljazeerah.info/Opinion%... ).
Bush, Dr Rice (Dr Death) and their cronies may escape the International Criminal Court (ICC) - but face arraignment under US law for DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE to the mass murder of 60,000 Americans. Blair and his Coalition confreres should similarly be properly brought to account before the ICC over Coalition war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan and for complicity in thousands of Coalition country opioid drug-related deaths due to Coalition-restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry.
There is mounting concern in America - spearheaded by Scholars for 9/11 Truth (S9/11T) but largely ignored by Anglo-American mainstream Media - over evidence for the DEMOLITION of the WTC Twin Towers and the adjoining WTC7 building as well as for other interpretations of the 9/11 atrocity at variance with the "official" Bush Adminsitration version (see: http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org/. An objective international commission is required to determine whether there was "active", "passive" or no US complicity in the 9/11 catastrophe.
However as variously documented by the UN Population Division , UNICEF, UNODC, and the US NDIC there is clear, unambiguous evidence for the complicity of US state terrorism and the Bush-Blair Coalition in not only 2.3 million post-invasion excess deaths in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories but also in 0.45 million post-2001 global opioid drug-related deaths (60,000 in America itself) due to US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry.
