When will the US ever learnt?

Everyone will agree whatever happenings or mis-happenings in the world today, USA sure has her dirty hands in them.


After invading Iraq on the pretext of WMD, it is now successfully (again) pressured UN to impose sanctions on Iran.

How that will help World Peace?

What is happening in the world today is not due to differences over religions, territories, ideologies...............BUT more on the preferential treatment that USA gives for her illegitimate half-sister, you know who lah...

There's no HIDING here.


Everyone knows that Israel has nukes. It has also in its so-called "defensive" strategy, used clusters bombs in Lebanon.
How come no SANCTIONS imposed against Israel because of this.


Let's go back to Iraq & do a check at how many deaths occured since the ouster of Saddam Hussein March 2003.



As reported by NewScientist.com:
"Around 655,000 people have died in Iraq as a result of the US-led coalition invasion, according to the largest scientific analysis yet.


That is 2.5% of the country's entire population.
The study was conducted by US and Iraqi scientists to determine how many Iraqis have died since the invasion in March 2003.


Various estimates have been made of Iraqi casualties, ranging from 48,000 to 126,000. But these have been based on reporting by the press, hospitals or the military, and tend to underestimate the dead, the researchers claim.

Gilbert Burnham and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, US, and Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad, Iraq, surveyed 1849 households with a total of 12,801 inhabitants, in all but two of the 18 governorates across Iraq.


The researchers asked about births, deaths and cause of death. They did not discriminate between civilians and combatants.


The death rate before the invasion was a fairly normal 5.5 per thousand people per year. Since March 2003, that figure has averaged 13.2, the researchers found.


More worrying, the death rate has risen every year since the invasion: this year reaching 19.8 per thousand people per year, a near-fourfold increase over pre-invasion levels. "
