1. U.S. invasion responsible deaths of over 250,000 civilians in Iraq
by John Stokes
New studies make the Bush administration's "liberation" argument for a 'pre-emptive' war against Iraq seem questionable.

The invasion of Iraq in March 2003 by U.S.-led coalition forces has been responsible for the death of at least 150,000 civilians (not including certain of Iraq), reveals a compilitation of scientific studies and corroborated eyewitness testimonies.

The majority of these deaths, which are in addition those normally expected from natural causes, illness and accidents, have been among women and children, documents a well-researched study, that had been released by The Lancet Medical Journal.


The report in the British journal is based on the work of teams from the Johns Hopkins University and Columbia University in the U.S., and the Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad.

4. The world is
See the protest see the banners and all the people coming out everywhere bush goes.
Do not misjudged what is in the air.
The lack of action by goverments around the world will ultimately see lots of changes.
This will translated into unfirendly goverments to the US.

The final bills has not been tally
Iraq is a constant reminder to the people around the world of how precious freedom is.

You do not read of marchers getting hurt and even dead resulting in this protests but it is happening.

This is just on slow boil and getting worse.
You do need fear the fact that anti bush will one day become anti American
That transition is not long in the future, if it come to pass
Then this world in for many troubles decades.
Hopefully the American people act before this mess becomes impossible to walk away from.
