By now there have been several attempts to estimate how many Iraqis have died as a result of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq since March 2003. These estimates all support the conclusion that "hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died as a result of the U.S. invasion," a statement that we can now make with very high confidence.
If there is any American who is still willing to publicly claim they believe that demands to indefinitely occupy Afghanistan or bomb Iran have something to do with human liberation, put for them the following simple test. Ask them to say the sentence: "Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died as a result of the U.S. invasion of their country." If a would-be "humanitarian bomber" cannot say this sentence, you can safely ignore anything else they have to say. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-naiman/how-many-iraqis-did-we-li_b_673683.html http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/8/6/144946/4220 http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/node/665 -- Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org [email protected] Urge Congress to Support a Timetable for Military Withdrawal from Afghanistan http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/act/feingold-mcgovern _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
