Page 2 of 2 It is one thing for the US Establishment to kill millions of foreigners off-shore - another thing entirely to murder thousands of fellow Americans in cold blood in New Orleans by non-provision of dirt cheap, buoyant and easily air-lifted bottled water - and by armed prevention of others from doing so. The victims of this domestic mass murder are overwhelmingly poor Afro-Americans but also include infant, infirm, elderly and disabled Americans trapped in New Orleans. It is likely that this racist tardiness of the Bush Administration has passively killed more Afro-Americans in New Orleans than over a century of nation-wide violence by the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).  Peace is the only way. America is a democracy and accordingly ALL Afro-Americans and ALL elderly, infirm, parent, disabled, carer and minority group Americans - and indeed ALL decent Americans - should practice ZERO TOLERANCE and UTTER AVOIDANCE in their voting, business and personal dealings with ANY Democratic Nazi Americans (DNAs) such as the war-mongering Religious Right Republicans (RRRs). Unfortunately, entrenched lying by omission in the corporate mainstream media ensures that decent Americans will not be aware of the appalling statistics outlined above. Accordingly, some key documents relating to US-complicit avoidable mass mortality are listed below for the benefit of concerned readers: [1] Australian complicity in Iraq mass mortality (ABC Radio National 8.45 pm 28 August 2005 but taped much earlier): http://www.abc.net.au/rn/science/ockham/stories/s1445960.htm [2] UNICEF report (2005): http://www.unicef.org/ [3] Global Avoidable Mortality: http://globalavoidablemortality.blogspot.com/ [4] UN Population Division, 2005: http://esa.un.org/unpp/index.asp?panel=1 [5] Gideon Polya website: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gpolya/links.html [6] UN, World Tribunal & Arundhati Roy expose UK-US war crimes in Iraq: http://blogmark.mg.co.za/?q=node/1553 [7] Iraq coalition casualty count: http://icasualties.org/oif/ [8] Japanese & UK-US war crimes: http://blogmark.mg.co.za/?q=node/1543 [9] Declaration of Jury of Conscience, World Tribunal on Iraq: http://www.worldtribunal.org/main/?b=91 [10] Office of the UN Commissioner for Human Rights, Geneva Convention relative to protection of civilian persons in time of war: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm ==================================================== Dr Gideon Polya, a contributing editor to MWC News Magazine, published some 130 works in a 4 decade scientific career, most recently a huge pharmacological reference text "Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds" (CRC Press/Taylor & Francis, New York & London, 2003), and is currently writing a book on global mortality --- Letter To editor Recommend this article...
