 | | Ben Heine/ MWC NEWS | I received a prompt reply from a very decent Member of the Australian Parliament who thanked me for the information and made it clear that the current awful threat to Iran was a key concern and that they were now “trying to highlight the PR campaign from the USA to soften up the public for an onslaught in Iran”.
US Mainstream media and politicians in Australia and around the world continue to ignore these horrendous consequences of Bush’s war policies. The bigger picture of the Bush Family war policies in Iraq since 1990 is summarized thus: violent Iraqi deaths in the Gulf War (also involving US deception) 0.2 million; 1990-2003 Iraqi excess deaths under US-UN Sanctions 1.7 million; post-invasion Iraqi excess deaths 2.0 million. The Bush Wars against Iraq have (so far) killed about 4 million Iraqis out of an average 1990-2007 population of about 24 million and created over 4.2 million refugees – this clearly constituting Genocide as defined by the UN Genocide Convention. We are witnessing a continuing Iraqi Holocaust and Iraqi Genocide that is ignored by the racist, holocaust-ignoring, holocaust-denying, Bush Mainstream media of the perpetrator countries. Just compare this continuing atrocity with the Nazi German Jewish Holocaust – 5 million killed, 1 million excess deaths from starvation and deprivation i.e. about 6 million excess deaths out of a Jewish population in Nazi Europe of about 9 million and a total world Jewish population at the time of about 15 million (see: . Gilbert, M. (1969), Jewish History Atlas (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London) and Gilbert, M. (1982), Atlas of the Holocaust (Michael Joseph, London)). Peaceful, remote, non-nuclear-armed, NPT-signatory, non-aggressive, non-foreign country invading or occupying Iran has a population of over 70 million (three quarters of whom are Women and Children). We must all stand up to prevent the next, looming Bush-ite atrocity now being daily adumbrated for Iran - and demand the prosecution of Bush and his war criminal, mass murdering, racist accomplices in the horrendous Iraqi Holocaust.
