Good idea R!
OK.. I was waiting till your post fell off the bottom of the page with only one response from baddog who seems to be in a state of wonderment.
It is hardly surprising there is only one response from this generous community when there is stiff competition from threads like "Would you hit this redhead teen?", "Good Morning Mofos !!!!!" and "Guess Who???? Guess Who?????"
And now the good news. Since the "Butcher of Bagdad" managed to feed the population, provide electricity and running water and also a healthcare system, (tho that was fucked more than a little!), until the US elected to invade and bomb the fuck out of the country, - it is more than reasonable that the "invaders" (and anyone else) get off their fatty hamburger asses and pay for the suffering and damage they created and cheered-on, in what was described as "Shock and awe".
The damage suffered in Iraq is greatly in excess of anything that happened on 9/11. The effects of US activity in that region will continue for at least 40 years more and show in birth defects, malformations, leucemia and other cancers in both children and adults - the direct effect resulting from use by the US of depleted uranium.
Of course, your own children and those in your neighborhood are "different" and children elsewhere who live in "shitty countries" (but important enough to bomb), don't matter - that is the way of the more fortunate. These same groups claim they give much to anothers - truth is, they lie. They in fact give very little.
SO... Here's a bump for Relish - and an opportunity to contribute to a remedy to stopping the suffering directly caused by the US and the UK in Iraq.
PS Thanks for instigating this thread Relish - it's the most relevant post on GFY in months
And.. already have a standing order with ICRC
