HOLOCAUST

I'm not going to write this one, the article below is by Dahr Jamail; one of the few reporters in Iraq who risks his life on the streets rather than reporting from behind walls ten feet thick.

Every week there is a massive suicide bombing in Iraq, a steady trickle of dead American soldiers, hundreds killed by death squads or simply as a result of the loss of law and order. Meanwhile the only "reconstruction" that is happening is the building of three huge military bases for American personnel. The abscence of sufficient medical supplies in the hospitals that are still standing is resulting in hundreds more deaths that could be prevented. Add to this the enormous toll of the medieval siege that was called a "sanctions regime", including half a million dead children, the horrific effects of depleted uranium which will be killing and deforming infants long into the future, the flattening of Falluja and the thousands killed during the invasion itself. America and britain make Saddam look like Mother Teresa. He is currently being tried for executing 200 people because the worst of his crimes - the 1 million killed in the Iran/Iraq war, the gassing of the Kurds, the genocide of the marsh Arabs - were committed with our full support and sometimes with our own weapons. All of this to preserve America's economic empire, with britain tagging along begging for scraps.
One day I hope there will be a huge memorial built to the victims of economics.
