More Genocide Coming In Iraq

Comment by Larry Ross, October 31, 2004

The 100,000 Iraqi killings, mainly women and children, from US-UK bombing, is genocide and a major war crime.

This is not what the US calls "a war on terrorism". It is a gang of US thugs telling lies to justify making war on a civilian population, including imprisoning, shaming and torturing civilians.

Any Iraqi resistance to US slaughter is called "terrorism" and used by the US to justify even more violence. The US is prepared to use "shock and awe" tactics in their efforts to annihilate any resistance in Fallujah.

The main point which many Bush supporters still fail to appreciate is that there was never any real reason for the US to invade and make war on Iraq in the first place. Saddam Hussein did not have links with Al-Qaeda, had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, did not have weapons of mass destruction and was not a threat to the US or its allies. Bush's entire case for war was built on lies, which some Americans still believe are true. This makes Bush and his aides major war criminals. The US war on Iraq must be considered as one of greatest frauds in history.

In pretending that his now known lies are nevertheless still true, Bush plans to step up the violence to impose his rule through a US-selected, Baghdad puppet regime certified by a sham "election" in January, 2005.

He may then make similar phoney wars on Iran, Syria and possibly others, which can escalate further to nuclear war, and become a general war on many fronts in the middle east, involving more nations. The whole world would suffer as a result of this disaster.
