Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 How ironic that the initials for the United States is US! God, *that's* funny! ------------- The Lancet study already demonstrated that, as of July 2006, the deaths caused by the U.S. invasion of Iraq rivaled the death toll of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Our update suggests that it has now surpassed even high estimates of deaths in Rwanda. Realization of the daunting scale of the death and suffering inflicted on Iraqis should add urgency to efforts to end the occupation. Sign the petition to Congress below. As of July 2006, a scientific study led by researchers at Johns Hopkins found that 650,000 Iraqis had died as a result of the U.S.-led invasion. Unfortunately, the death toll has continued to mount since then. It is likely that about one million Iraqis have been killed, according to an updated estimate from the organization Just Foreign Policy. That's more than were killed in the Rwandan genocide and far more than were killed under Saddam. Close to five million have been forced to become refugees. You can find more information, a frequently updated counter of Iraqi deaths, and a petition to Congress urging them to end this war here: PLEASE SIGN PETITION TO US CONGRESS http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/iraq/iraqdeaths.html --- No WMDs Yet PS: do I really think signing a petition to US Congress matters? Hell no! (and I do mean 'Hell') Love David, (Your unrelenting, pain-in-the-ass connection to Reality) PPS: Don't forget to pass the link to the few remaining Conscious people left on Planet Earth! Or just forget it all and meditate. (of course that only works if you're *really* enlightned) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
