Johns Hopkins figure confirms Lancet Death estimate in Iraq.
Yes, the USA and UK between them have indeed killed well over half a million Iraqis and devastated Iraq.
OK, so in the UK it was mostly said it was "not in our name", and some also did so in the USA. But the serious World Trade Centre blast in NY to me from the start had the same smell to it as the Roman Catholic bombings in Northern Ireland and UK, if not the same religious fanatics, for in place of RC/IRA killings there were either/or/and Wahabi/ Saudi/Bush&Israeli/Alqaeda killings. Right now, things in Ulster are fairly quiet again. We were roughly sure of the cause in Northern Ireland and fixed it a little bit whilst making many unduly compromised agreements.
In the case of the NY bombings the cause is still far from certain. But certainly attempts were made to 'free Iraq' and more than 1000 times the number of deaths than in the NY bombings have so far taken place. But there is still a problem with Iran. One only has to consider present Iranian street violence to realise that if these people get nuclear bombs, the situation is going to be not just a 'cold war' more or less orchestrated from the top as in Russia, but murder and mayhem. We already have "Nukes 'R Us' Punjabistan, who agree to sell nukes to anyone, and the addition of (un-islamic) 'Jihads 'r Us' Iran we can certainly do without. Last time the Iranians tried it on to get nuke manufacture, a few bombs from Israel (not a country I like) sorted it out with some deaths and hard feelings, but 'not a lot'.
So far, Iran insists on its right to have nuclear weapons, but the priority is surely those of us who insist on having the right not to be blown up. The accursed Catholics (and may they rot eternally in hell) nearly killed me, a harmless victim., so I can see that rogue states need facing up to, and not pusillanimously hidden by alcohol, as George Bush seems to be doing. Iran has been given plenty of non nuclear bomb options already, unlike the NY victims who were given no option, and clearly nobody would be given options in this case either.
IMO: To save our own skins, lets ensure that Iran develops no nuclear weapons. Iran has been given alternative choices and anyone who insists on not preventing Iran's nuclear strategy by whatever means available for so called peaceful reasons is on the face of it much worse than say a pedophile priest insisting he is only buggering kids to make them happy. Sure there are alternative arguments but we only need to hear them if we are alive to do so. Not many will die directly from getting rid of the Iran problem right now and its removal is needed by all. The moral argument is still in favour of US/UK and they should proceed soon.
