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.

It will not get the mamed, crippled and dead peopel their happiness back, but the thruth has to be written down. So future generations will be able to get the thruth. And the proper sense of responsibility for other peoples misery.
6022	January 24, 2010	alfred frates	, WA, US	While Catholic Priests remain silent, 1 Catholic Bishop came out against the war. To the rest I ask, how will the faithful be forgiven for supporting an unjust war (mortal sin), if they are not educated to the Churches Just War teachings? and they do not know that the sin has been committed...and what kind of sin does this mean the Catholic Priests and Bishops are committing? Who is going to forgive them...
