What Fadel Abdallah fails to understand is that not only can you be a martyr for the Army of Allah, but also for the cause of “Democracy.”  Those Iraqis who have died in the “War on Terror” will be remembered as having made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of “Democracy!”

Suspend all combat operations immediately, Mr. Obama, and bring ALL Us forces home NOW.

I’m sure the figure is much higher.  The good: relatives and friends of the dead will resist the uber-capitalism, replete with cronies, that the U.S. tries to smear over the world.

The total is 2.8 million: 1.4 million Iraq War. Plus 1 million by sanctions. Plus 400k GW1.

Plus 5m in exile. Half internal. Half external.

“They made a wasteland and called it peace.”

The title of this piece is misleading and manipulatively worded in three ways:

1. It’s based on suspected official count from 2005, as if the war in Iraq started in 2005 and not in 2003. The heaviest losses occurred in the first two years of the evil American invasion, and according to other more reliable sources the number exceeds the million point.
2. The AP report refers to victim of violence, as if violence is something that drops from heaven as rain, without associating this violence to real causes and perpetrators, which is the evil American invasion, based on lies and deception!
3. This so-called report does not even account for the millions who were either crippled physically or mentally for life, nor does it account for the millions who were displaced and made refugees and their livelihoods destroyed forever. In fact most of those miserable survivors would envy the dead and wish they were among them.

So here goes the spinning of the mainstream Western media trying to minimize a situation that should be called the Iraqi People Holocaust of the twenty-first century, perpetrated by the U.S. and its other Western allies in evil!
