Another survey done of households in Iraq, once
again showing the massive, massive evil the American people have visited on the
Iraqi people.
Quote: “The study, conducted by four American and Canadian
universities along with the Iraqi Ministry of Health, estimates that 461,000
Iraqi deaths can be attributed to the war, of which about two-thirds were
direct violence; the other third is from indirect causes such as breakdowns of
health-care systems that are attributable to the war. Those numbers are much
higher than earlier estimated. Worse, they tick back up in the final years of
the war – when things were supposedly getting better. The results, charted
below, show the number of war-related Iraqi deaths over time. It's grim – and a
direct challenge to our understanding of the war as having improved after 2007.”
The deaths from violence went down in 2008, but then the
numbers went up again. And the numbers of deaths are still going up.
American people do not seem to notice or care what evil and suffering they have visited on Iraq (or other countries we visited violence on, like Vietnam). I wish there was some way to wake them up, but they seem to be determined to stay stupid and in denial. And you can bet we will do it all again one day. I hope I am not alive to see it.

May God Bless Iraq
and Vietnam
and every other country we inflicted our violence on.
