The very high crime rate in Iraq is also to blame on the
occupying force!  Because the occupying force is responsible for
maintaining  law & order  in the occupied country.  However,
the Halliburton junta obviously doesn't give a rat's ass about
Iraqi lives -- on the contrary, it's interested in a lawless
area where U$raeli "security" corporations can make maximum
profits, plunder the museums, eliminate all potential opposition
(just like their former ally Saddam had been doing (his way) before),
etc.

For the perps it's always convenient and self-serving to deny the
number of victims, as you did on the Injun genocide.  In Europe,
prison sentences are being handed out to historical revisionists.
