he sounds like a terrorist sympathizer. kidding.

interesting site. we're not a democracy i would add, we're a constitutional republic, the founders of this country made that distinction, and it's an important one.

he makes a good point here:
When the US military practices a systematic mechanism for targeting the welfare of civilians (Bombing attacks in the first Gulf War and the Kosovo War, systematically targeted power plants and grids, railway stations, refineries, communication networks, sewerage treatment facilities, and water purification plants, in spite of Article 54 of the Geneva Conventions which prohibits attacking any objectives "indispensable to the survival of the civilian population.") what am I to think?

and this...
Guilt for the sanctions which effectively killed 1.7 million Iraqis according to UN figures. For those of you who were not privy to the sanctions regimen, Iraq was not allowed to import pencils because of the graphite and lead in them. Iraq was not allowed to import medical texts, medical equipment, or have its scientific community attend cancer-fighting seminars.

Vital chlorine for water purification was denied by the US sanctions committee at the UN.

While Americans were watching Survivor, Iraqis were scrambling to find medicines. Many died because vital medical equipment in Iraqi hospitals had become obsolete or broken down. Privileged Iraqis tried to smuggle things into the country or leave entirely. In the 1990s, four million Iraqis left the country.

In the 1990s, thanks to the 300 tons of depleted uranium used by the US to blow up Iraqi installations and military hardware, cancers increased in Iraqi society by 500%.



but i won't get started on the UN...people should read that book i posted, the fearful master by g. edward griffin...and he brings up depleted uranium...we should all be outraged and sickened and horrified at the use of DU in afghanistan and Iraq...but wait, bill o'reilly and alan colmes have nothing to say about DU, so it's no a problem.

i'll have to read the rest of that site later...
