WMD: Iraq Hospitals (Before the US invasion)

Crimes against humanity? It is estimated that Saddam killed 300,000 people during his 24 year rule. The US/UN imposed sanctions killed over 2,000,000 in only 12 years. That is a rate of more than 10 to 1 over Saddam.
Both Bush's, Rumsfeld, Clinton, and the entire UN "security" council should hang right next to Saddam for crimes against humanity.
Recorded 2 weeks before "Shock and Awe"

A more recent view of the hospitals in Iraq. Obviously conditions are much worse. Americans should know what their tax dollars are being spent on.

like upbringing and education of children (20 years), Citybuilding, Trafficplanning, public Health, etc.. I think, the democracy/ monarchy of Sweden does a better job there with their "Volksheim"-policy. Of course, one still could elect a king or queen, but that person should still be in charge and have to answer to, when the children have grown up.

[greaserig]

democratic socialism is a possible concept...

as opposed to, democratic republic capitalism as in the USA...

Socalism and capitalism is a means of distributing the resources of a nation.

Democracy and monarchy, or dictatorship are forms of government.

Power to the people, and care for the people, at the same time. This would be a nice concept. It is possible. Is it realistic??? who knows.

It is so sad to see those children with no medicine. And their parents are suffering so much. And think, even if these children did live, which I assume some did, they have only known war. It's a shame.

I hope george bush and dick cheney go to jail. Nobody likes them. How can they stay in power. I dont know how the soldiers don't go on strike by now.

@usindependent50 Moral values? please stop talking as if you know me personaly, im probably the most moral person you will know. I know that there are many americans who have good intentions but its sad to see they dont know the real intentions of the whole purpose of the war in the first place. Liberation.. what liberation?? Thaat is nonsence! Thank you for pumping over 100 tons of bullets that each contain 30mm of uranium through all the gulf wars, how can you be on the side of such disgust

[usindependent50]

@Treckorz

Because I know who real Iraqis are and what they stand for. Or at least the ones with some sense of moral values. And I was correct. You can barely call yourself an Iraqi. I'm fighting with and for Iraq. I spent 30 months in Iraq with the United States military. And I have visited it 7 other times in my free time, after the liberation.

[Treckorz]

@usindependent50 Since when do you know me so well that you can predict i left as soon as the war started? Iv been in the uk for 11 years i know what going on in Iraq because of the amount of family that i keep in touch with, and the deep free minded knowledge that i seek to learn and teach my self. The states done nothing but bring destruction to Iraq. You are a human being like me my friend why are you on the side of big corperations that use YOU as bully boys of the world for empire expansion

[usindependent50]

@Treckorz

Oh, so are you an Iraqi that left as soon as the war started and complain from the safety of a country thousands miles away from Iraq while brave Iraqis actually fight for their country and coalition fight with and for Iraq?

There is only so much the United States can do for you. It's time for Iraqis to stand up and fight for democracy and not allow these gangs to kill innocent people in a battle for power.

Your no more Iraqi than me.

[Treckorz]

@usindependent50 I am an Iraqi and your information is false. No Iraqi likes the occupiers of there country. You are a sick supporter of the devil.

[SuperBillego]

@greaserig Gaddaffi was doing it in libya , America didn't like it so now he's "dead".

[usindependent50]

More misinformation.

Realistic estimations of Saddam's murders are around 600,000-800,000

Excess deaths caused the coalition invasion are around 120,000-135,000

These deaths are caused by INSURGENT ACTIVITY and SECTARIAN VIOLENCE. NOT COALITION FORCES.

These are also the two things the United States is trying to eliminate.

The reason that these hospitals lack the proper medicine and equipment is because Saddam was spending aid money on palaces and his military.

[slimv29]

dont forget that the americans have killed more iraqis in the war than saddam ever did, and he ruled for 30 years and the americans have been there for less than 10 years

[johan28]

This process keeps going because we're stupid enough to believe our own lies. We want revenge for those people we have lost. Soldiers have lost soldiers. Many americans have died. They want to revenge those deaths. They want to rebuild everything they destroyed. This process probably won't ever end.

Do not believe that killing others will resovle this. Do not resort to harming an american or a soldier. The only way to stop this bloodshed is to stop the cycle of revenge and bloodlust.

[johan28]

Everything they say is just words. They say this was all for the better. But all that comes out is blood and sadness and soldiers on the street.

I do not believe their lies. I am not a terrorists. I am a citizen of the world. I believe we have caused more harm by attempting to remove the saddam regime. We're like a surgeon that went to remove a lesion off the stomach but ended up tearing away several organs in the process. We're in denail. We do not spread goodness.

We spread war.
