War, War, War See other War, War, War Articles Title: The Iraqi Genocide (PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS) The Iraqi Genocide Why hasn't the Turkish parliament given tit for tat and passed a resolution condemning the Iraqi Genocide? As a result of Bush's invasion of Iraq, more than 1 million Iraqis have died, and several millions are displaced persons. The Iraqi death toll and the millions of uprooted Iraqis match the Armenian deaths and deportations. If one is a genocide, so is the other. It is true that most of the Iraqi deaths have resulted from Iraqis killing one another. But it was Bush's destruction of the secular Iraqi state that unleashed the sectarian strife. Moreover, American troops in Iraq have killed more civilians than insurgents. The U.S. military in Iraq has fallen for every bit of disinformation fed to it by al-Qaida personnel posing as "informants" and by Sunnis setting up Shi'ites and Shi'ites setting up Sunnis. As a result, American bombs and missiles have blown up weddings, funerals, kids playing soccer, and people shopping in bazaars and sleeping in their homes. Not to be outdone, Bush's private Waffen SS known as Blackwater has taken to gunning Iraqi civilians down in the streets. How do Blackwater and Custer Battles killers escape the "unlawful combatant" designation? One can only marvel at the insouciance of the U.S. Congress to the current Iraqi genocide while condemning Turkey for one that happened 90 years ago. People seldom see the beam in their own eye, only the mote in the eyes of others. Every member of the Bush regime is busily at work denouncing Iran for causing instability in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the United States has invaded two countries, throwing them into total chaos, while beating the drums for war with Iran and conspiring with Israel to invade Lebanon and attack Syria. The indisputable facts are that the United States and Israel have attacked four Middle East countries and are determined to attack a fifth. Yet, it is peaceful Iran, at war with no one, that Bush and Israel blame for causing instability in the Middle East. Not content with its many wars in the Middle East, the Bush regime is sponsoring wars in Africa and is setting up an African Command. The U.S. government has been bombing and attacking other countries ever since the Cold War ended. Instead of peace, the gang in Washington chose war. Other than the Israel lobby, the greatest supporters of Bush's wars are Christian evangelicals, specifically the "rapture evangelicals" and the "Christian Zionists." I remember when Christianity was about saving one's soul. Today, it is about bringing on Armageddon. While the various evangelical Christians preach war in the Middle East, they condemn Islam for being a "warlike religion." Americans are so full of themselves that they are blind to their extraordinary hypocrisy. The U.S. government has broken every agreement with Russia by withdrawing from the anti-ballistic missile treaty, pushing NATO to Russia's borders, conniving to place missiles in Poland and the Czech Republic, and buying governments in former Soviet republics and installing U.S. military bases therein. When Russian President Putin finally has enough and protests, the U.S. Secretary of State blames Putin for being difficult and restarting the Cold War. Few Americans realize it, but they take the cake. International polls show that the rest of the world regards the United States and Israel as the greatest dangers to world peace. Americans claim that they are fighting wars against terrorism, but it is U.S. and Israeli terrorism that worries everyone else. The rest of the world knows that the wars are about U.S. and Israeli hegemony and that the United States and Israel are prepared to engage in whatever acts of terror are necessary to achieve hegemony. That is the bare fact. When the U.S. dollar loses its reserve currency status, the U.S. empire will come to an abrupt end. Sooner or later, the rest of the world will realize this and, in an act of self-protection, dethrone the dollar.

2)When the U.S. dollar loses its reserve currency status, the U.S. empire will come to an abrupt end. Sooner or later, the rest of the world will realize this and, in an act of self-protection, dethrone the dollar. 1) Both sides (Turkey & Kurds/PKK) are controlled by the same beast who controls also the US gov./economy & media 2) It is by design, they want to lower standard of living in the US and elevate the one for india/china, similiar punshishment endoured by the Germans prior to WWII. more bad news in the pipe line including higher energy prices, Halaluia to christians serving the same beast.
