* According to the Iraqi government. there has been less than 2,000 civil deaths because of the bombardments. Not bad, since UNICEF affirmed that Saddam Hussein provoked 5,000 dead children of less than 5 years. every month. *
If three weeks of intensive bombardments, night and day, with, between others, bombs of fragmentation and the power of most important fire of the world, have made less damages than two planes of line in twenty minutes, I think that the Pentagon would have interest to yield to American Air Lines the American forces.
It is curious to note that the information of Iraqi source become believable when they is favorable to the government of the United States. Evidently, Baghdad had interest to show pictures of civil victims to cause the international agitation but to minimize the number of it for not to annihilate the will of resistance of their population.
I don't have definitive data again on the number of civil victims in Iraq but the war of the Gulf in 91 had provoked between 170.000 and 250.000 deaths. In Afghanistan, there were between 20.000 and 25.000 deaths.
Otherwise, the massacre under the bombardments of about 30.000 Iraqi soldiers during this war is not excusable anymore. These men didn't have the time to shot even one time and they just wanted to try to defend their country against invaders. It is what the soldiers of any country would do.
As for the allegation according to which UNICEF would have declared that Saddam Hussein would have provoked 5.000 children died per month in Iraq, it is not true. It is the result of the embargo decided by the UNO under the pressure of Bush Senior and that the United States wanted to maintain in spite of the opposite opinions of all others countries of the world excepted the UK and Israel. You are right to pin this abominable data. It shows enough well the cruelty of a régime as that of the United States. http://www.unicef.ca/eng/travail/news/031903.html
* It is why the United States undertook these countries that wanted * to save * lives. *
This is pure propaganda. The facts, these are the American marines who keep the watch before the oil wells and let wreck under their eyes the embassies, the museums and especially the hospitals. Other facts are also the American soldiers who shot to the crowd in a meeting for demonstrating their anger towards an Iraqi speaker * brought * by the occupant.
* I don't see how your attacks on my country and its constitutionally elected government could let the discussion advance . *
The government of your country has been elected by your people (a big minority), no by the world population. The problem is that it pretends to direct the destiny of the world population to the will of the interests of those that financed Bush's campaign. It goes in opposition to our will to allow the world population to define their own conditions of life. . But you can stay quiet. My words make less pain than your bombs.
