Tell Congress One Million Iraqis Have Died

 
The Lancet study already demonstrated that, as of July 2006, the deaths caused by the U.S. invasion of Iraq rivaled the death toll of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Our update suggests that it has now surpassed even high estimates of deaths in Rwanda.

Help expose the true costs of war by signing the petition telling Congress.

To: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Cc: Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate The invasion of Iraq and the continuing occupation have killed and injured many people. While we know the names of the U.S. and coalition soldiers who have died, the suffering of Iraqis is not fully known because the United States government does not produce accurate estimates of Iraqi casualties. The current best estimate is that over one million Iraqis have died as a result of the invasion. That number is an extrapolation of a scientific study led by researchers from Johns Hopkins that estimated that as of July 2006, 650,000 Iraqi deaths were attributable to the invasion. The extrapolation was done by the organization Just Foreign Policy. And the war and deaths continue. Soldiers continue to be sent with deadly weapons into Iraqi neighborhoods and bombs continue to be dropped. We urge Congress to end the occupation of Iraq without further delay, and to require that the U.S. government produce a scientifically rigorous estimate of Iraqi deaths resulting from the invasion as a step toward accountability.

7300	April 21, 2013	Gar Smith	Berkeley, CA, US	A review of the long and bloody history of US military invasions abroad, suggests that America must be responsible for the largest "holocaust" ever perpetrated by a single government -- far surpassing the 6 million estimated killed by the German government during WWII.
7299	April 21, 2013	Frank Walter	Portland, OR, US	Why is America following a similar course to the one taken by Adolph Hitler in 1939? Hitler invaded an almost defenseless Poland (cavalry against tanks), and in 2003 the bush sent the most powerful military with advanced weaponry against a defenseless Iraq, the results of which amount to 1,000,000 dead Iraqis! For what? Iraq's oil it turns out and now that oil is no longer a state monopoly but controlled by the world's major oil cartels.

War is obsolete in 2013. Our awareness as human beings has exceeded the limitations of contemporary political discourse. We must invent a New Paradigm socio-economic-holistic political platform. A new language must be created if we wish to counter the ignorance of a status quo directive initiated by fear and profit.
