3. It's ok...they're not really human like us.
They don't feel things as we do.

Their parents aren't capable of loving their kids and feeling sorrow over their deaths, maimings, murders, torturings etc they way we would.

That's why it's ok for us to be perpetrating a 911 attack an average of every week of every month of every year of the past 5 years on the people of Iraq...they're not really human.















The only problem is, they really are human, just like us. Look what we did to two nations' hundreds of thousands of innocent people after 19 extremists attacked us. We deserve to, but please god may we never EVER suffer what we have done to the people of Iraq & Afghanistan.

10. How many? Here's a graph on the total betwen '90 and '00
Edited on Tue Nov-25-08 07:05 PM by autorank
200,000 children under 5 died in the embargo. See the link below for the
detailed study out of Columbia University. That's 200,000 under five.

(See Table 13 - mid range estimate)

When confronted with the death figures on this crime, Madeleine Albright told a CBS reporter,
"It was worth it."

5 million Iraqi orphans, anti-corruption board reveals

Baghdad, 15 December 2007 (Voices of Iraq)
http://www.iraqupdates.com/p_articles.php/article/25097

Iraq's anti-corruption board revealed on Saturday that there were five million Iraqi orphans as
reported by official government statistics, urging the government, parliament, and NGOs to be in
constant contact with Iraq's parentless children.

"The government should set up an institutional or legislative program to help the Iraqi orphans. Iraqi
is an oil-rich country and it is not acceptable that its orphans remain groaning in this tragedy,"
the anti-corruption board chief, Moussa Faraj, said during a conference in Baghdad dedicated to
orphans in Iraq.

"The board on its own cannot meet the Iraqi orphans' needs, but there should be an organization or
even a ministry to provide care for orphans," he said.
