War is Sell

Paying the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq by John Pilger

In the 10 years (1991-2001) after Iraq invaded Kuwait, sanctions were imposed on Iraq through the UN, by the US and UK, the harsh restrictions on imports, including access to key medicines, resulted in far more deaths than the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and nagasaki, combined.

The point was regime change, but it never came. The overwhelming majority of those killed were the poor, elderly, women and children.

Empirically, sanctions overwhelmingly punish the poor, the destitute. While the sanctions were in place, the richest people in control of the resources (the regime) could still live a luxurious life and attempt to once more consolidate power. John Pilger tells the story.

The Death Squads

The torture and slaughter of Iraqi civilians is reaching unprecedented heights with estimates of up to 655,000 dead. The US led invasion has resulted in an unprecedented unleashing of brutality and sectarian terror. This terror camaign has had the support of some elements of the British Secret Service, and the US has now announced the implementation of the ‘Salvador Option‘ in the region.
