Mainstream Media Lying By Omission & Complicity In 2.7 million Bush Wars Death Toll - Iran Next?
Decent people are appalled by news reports of an impending US attack on Iran and we might surmise that if it is a prolonged war (cf Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Vietnam and Korea) that millions of people will die, if not from direct violence then from the collateral but equally deadly consequences of war. US Asian wars over the last 55 years have been associated with avoidable mortality totalling about 18 million - but this is IGNORED by racist, lying, Mainstream Media. A more pertinent estimate of what is in store for IRANIANS could come from assessment of war-related avoidable mortality (excess mortality) and infant mortality in post-invasion Iraq and Afghanistan (Iran’s neighbours).
However, it is extraordinary that not only Mainstream Media but also many Alternative Media are still IGNORING the ACTUAL horrendous human cost of violent, racist UK-US democratic imperialism (democratic tyranny, democratic Nazism) in Occupied Iraq and Afghanistan - the post-invasion avoidable deaths now total 2.7 million comprising 0.5 million (Occupied Iraq), 1.8 million (Occupied Afghanistan) and 0.4 million (post-2001 opioid drug-related deaths due to Coalition restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry) (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/5489/42/ ).
Whether a child dies VIOLENTLY from bullet or bombs or dies NON-VIOLENTLY from deprivation and avoidable and treatable disease the end result is the same and the culpability the same. Further, as explicitly set out by the Geneva Conventions, the Occupier is responsible for maintaining the health and lives of the Occupied - the Ruler is responsible for the Ruled.
