Agree there. The first paragraph was enough.

It's my street and so very sad. I have lived here for 20 years and he is the 5th to die on this street in that time and none died of old age.

Are you a serial killer?

Are you a serial killer?

Haha never thought of that, but no I'm not. It's just that we seem to have more than our share of deaths for a small crescent

Makes for truly sad reading eh.

And it's a classic example of mainstream media only telling us what the powers that be want us to be told.

[oldrider]

The American people still believe that they are on the side of good as opposed to evil but their government has taken them to another place - unknown to them!

Blind are those that cannot see - non so blind as those that will not see! -

Amd it's a classic example of mainstream media only telling us what the powers that be want us to be told.

Yes.... because before sanctions all those poor starving children who are now dieing in their thousands were well fed, healthy and driving Ferraris....

Oh wait!

That's right - they were poor and starving BEFORE the sanctions were imposed and their government would rather let them starve than as opposed to letting weapons inspectors in to make sure they weren't trying to build NBC weapons.

(remembering of course that Mr Hussein was quite happy using chemical weapons on the kurdish villagers in Iraq)

Oh the Agony of choice - being gassed to death by an actual genocidal nutjob or enduring the hardships bought on by the same genocidal nutjobs refusal to play ball with the west.

And of course - we are the bad guys - because we didn't do enough to stop the genocide of the Kurds and when we did do something, we are the bad guys cause we our sanctions kill children en-masse

Saddam Hussein was never going to rival Gandhi or Mother Teresa in the annuls of human kindness but the average Iraqi was certainly not poor and starving before the sanctions were imposed.

America and the UK set about wiping out Iraq's societal infrastructure thereby ensuring the sanctions would have greatest effect.

Cold, calculated genocide.
