The numbers are shocking, and probably inflated. 80% are backed up by death certificates, though. And yes, the timing is very, very suspicious. But the fact is that there are tens of thousands of dead Iraqis who would not be dead if the U.S. had not invaded. And Iraq did not attack the US on 9/11. No link exists between Iraq and Al Qaeda… But this is important. Foreign media have reported that the US has dropped over 1,700 tons of depleted uranium on Iraq, which is radioactive for at least 4 billion years. The Iraqis are seeing terrible, unusual cancers as a direct result of the weapons the US is using there. Maybe the professor counted some of those cancer deaths in his study….I don’t know why people say you have to be 1. pro war or 2. cut and run. That’s simplistic and intellectually dishonest. There are a lot of other options for getting us out of the mess we have created in Iraq, and just because President Bush has mentioned only those two, repeatedly, doesn’t mean we all have to shut off our brains. And just because a professor reports something that threatens our world view, it doesn’t mean that we have to dismiss him or his work without considering the possibility that he is more correct in his findings than any of us would like to admit. Pay attention to info which makes you uncomfortable; you might learn something from it.
