Iraq Genocide by UN Sanctions

Please support www.iacenter.org

Iraq UN Embargoes:
United Nations and UNICEF estimate that the United Nations sanctions on Iraq resulted in the death of approximately 1.5 million people, including the death of over 500,000 children under age of 4. In 2002, a 12 non-governmental organizations study group said that the U.N. economic embargo against Iraq was flawed because it severely hurt the Iraqi people while sparing the country's leaders. The United States and the United Kingdom used their veto power to prolong the sanctions, bear special responsibility for perpetuating the sanctions against the wishes of the vast majority of the 15-member Security Council.

The oil for food program was a joke, if all the money attained from the program was used to buy food, it would have worked out to $170 per year per person. This has been calculated to be 1/4 that needed to feed a dog at the time.

Iraq after the US Led Invaision of 2003:
A study conducted by the FAFO Institute for Applied Social Science, a Norwegian research group, found in November 2004 that acute malnutrition among Iraqi children between the ages of six months and five years has increased from 4 percent to 7.7 percent since the US-led invasion.

The UK Lancet (independent and authoritative voice in global medicine) in July 2006 reported that over 600,000 have been killed since the invasion. The UK Government publicly rejected the findings of Lancet until a FOI conducted by the BBC found that the Governments Chief Scientist actually agreed with the Lancet study!

In 2006 US Johns Hopkins University and the Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad confirmed the UK Lancet figures by estimating that 655,000 more people have died in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred.

The UK ORB completed the latest and most comprehensive poll in October 2007 (polled many more regions in Iraq), they estimate 1,220,580 deaths since the U.S. invasion in 2003.

November 2007 polls (1.2 million dead) and UN Sanctions (1.5 million dead) indicate a total of at least 2.7 million civilian deaths due to Iraq sanctions and the US invasion of Iraq.

I'm tired of our government misrepresenting the American populous. It is not right to have one government run the world operation blackmailing anyone who disagrees. That is why I'm glad Russia is back and can shove it to make us think twice. Now it is time to get real America back on track because we have strayed from our forefathers at the end of WW2. This has cost Americans jobs and our actions abroad lives of others and noone has the right to do that.

Here is fact, we impose our way of freedom to others but what guarantees our freedom? How bout the right to bear arms. We tell Iraq we're going to give you democracy but we supply their military and instil our chosen people to lead them and give no weapons for people to defend themselves. That is why Iraq will never become free for we have reinforced dictatorship. This makes me ANGRY. Sanctions should only be placed on military imports not on civilians. I'm fed up with LIES!!!

"Sanctions".. it sounds much nicer than genocide doesn't it?

And people blame Bush for the attack on Iraq in 2003 which effectively ended the Iraq sanctions.

Since when have western states cared about innocent human lives? The norm is to massacre and plunder. Brainwash people daily with media propaganda, call your victims and leaders you don't like "terrorists" and you're done. So simple, and very effective! Unless the world wakes up it will continue.

@MaskedMumblr

Ahmadinejad is resisting western and zionist terror and imperialism. You seem to have a problem with that, that's very strange.

True Torah Rabbis against Oppression.

@wind4watts

I have not read the torah my self but neither did they. The book you speak of is called Talmud. ... Its the Talmud that they take over the torah written by "Jewish rabbis".... They are programmed to be blind followers and only take what their leaders give them even if its at the cost of ignoring their own holy book called the torah. Muslims are not the only ones being tortured in Israel...Anyone not Euro-Jewish.
