1/2 a Billion $$$ for Murder and a Million or More Killed- Where are the Voices of Resistance? |
|
Number Of Iraqis Slaughtered In U.S. War On Iraq- 1,168,058 and counting...
Number of U.S. Military Personnel Sacrificed (Officially acknowledged) In U.S. War And Occupation Of Iraq 3,943
How many wounded? 30-70 thousand? Who Knows?
Cost of U.S. War and Occupation of Iraq:
$490,724,441,108 and counting with estimates suggesting ultimate costs between 1-2 trilion $$$.
Oh well, back to the political theatre where only abstractions matter.

1. Where were you when we were picketing Haliburton? How about when we went to Camp Casey? |
|
Did I see you when we marched on Washington?

You're going to be hard pressed to find anyone who has been out on the streets more than I over the last 15 years protesting of the US occupation/invasion/slaughter/sanctions. Many of those days were during the Clinton years and I'm out there every week rain or shine. Where is everyone?
Until enough people get the message that our Reps don't Rep us and get involved in direct action we will see business as usual no matter the hollow rhetoric.

5. Do you ever think about the 1,000,000 killed during the '90's |
|
during the US sanctions approved during the Clinton administration? Please add those to your total figure.

Spoke out against that nearly every day during those years.
By now the toll must be nearing 4-5 million if we count all the war-related deaths.
US foreign policy is very fluid.
