Iraqi Civilian Deaths ... caused by Bush's unprovoked war

 

America, Meet Your Leaders by Harry Browne
Poor President Bush. He apparently wants to invade Iraq more than anything else in the world. And just when he thought he had sufficient support to do so, foreign leaders started backing out. So he went to the UN and gave a stirring speech -- saying Saddam Hussein must allow weapons inspections or the U.S. will invade -- only to have Hussein agree to allow the inspectors in.

If you try to deal with any of the war-mongers claims, they change the subject. . . .

• If you point out that Pakistan (a military dictatorship), India, Russia, China, France, Britain, Israel, and the United States all have "weapons of mass destruction" (including chemical and biological weapons), the war-mongers say, "But Hussein gassed his own people."
  
• If you point out that Bill Clinton gassed the Branch Davidians at Waco, the war-mongers say, "But Hussein invaded Kuwait."
  
• If you point out that the U.S. invaded Panama and Grenada -- and has bombed numerous countries that didn't attack the U.S. -- the war-mongers say, "But Hussein operates a brutal dictatorship."
  
• If you ask if this means we must invade several dozen other countries in the world who are suffering under brutal dictatorships, the war-mongers say, "But Hussein has violated a dozen UN resolutions" (this is usually claimed by someone who doesn't think the UN should even exist).
  
• If you point out that the U.S. also violates UN resolutions -- and didn't even pay its dues for many years -- the war-mongers say, "But Hussein has weapons of mass destruction," and we've come full circle and can start all over again.

If any of these claims were a truly serious concern, the war-mongers wouldn't be jumping around from one contention to another.
