Now I don’t know about you, but the fact that well over one million - some say closer to two million – innocents are dead or dying in Iraq and Afghanistan more than rubs me the wrong way.  These illegal military actions against two nations are so wrong, so vile, so disgusting, and so absolutely, utterly unacceptable that I am amazed any of us can even sleep at night. 

But then again, we’re a nation of sleep-aid poppers. No wonder, eh? I mean, how are we supposed to sleep when we fully realize every check we write every April 15 is going primarily not to pave our highways, not to feed the hungry, not to house the poor, not to bring medical care to sick babies and elders, but instead?  In growing numbers, aware Americans are coming to realize that roughly thirty-six percent (36%) of tax monies collected is skimmed off the top in order to fund deadly operations that kill innocent men, women, and children across the sea so those in power and their cronies can seize control of natural resources that do not belong to the United States.

Wouldn’t it have been at least a bit more humane if the sociopaths in control had at least had the courtesy to warn Afghan and Iraqi people in advance of their plans to rape, rob, pillage, steal, napalm, Willy Pete, and nuke their nations – just, say,  in the off chance that any of them might have wanted to first seek shelter elsewhere first, as in, like, say for example… ANY OTHER NATION ON THE FRICKIN’ PLANET! 

So, okay, in both illegal wars, the residents were never even given a chance to get out while the water was still semi-fit to drink, and the air was not yet quite so thick with the smell of toxic and radioactive Uranium metallic aerosol, and before their soils, plants, and livestock were not all radioactively glowing in the dark. 

Yet the “kicker” of it all is that these federally-funded gangstas actually seem to be getting away with their bellicose, sadistic, torture and killing orgies committed upon two countries.  One becomes almost nauseous to realize they’ve been at it for about six and one-half years. And, from the looks of things? It doesn’t look like anyone’s fixin’ to stop them anytime soon. 

So what to think about two million – give or take a million – dead and dying? I mean, I saw crowds like I’ve never seen before when one-half million people marched in an anti-war protest in Washington, DC a couple of Septembers ago, but we’re talking closer to 2 million people stone cold dead (or soon about to be) in the Middle East. 

I don’t think I can even count to two million, can you?

And these numbers, of course, are underestimated still, as the effects of even a single sub-micron sized particle of ceramic Uranium oxide – fired from Depleted Uranium munitions and bunker busting bombs and missiles used in combat all these years can stay lodged in the lung for decades (decades!) before an individual eventually succumbs to the utter damnation of frying from the inside-out due to internal radiation poisoning. 

What the hell did the civilians of Afghanistan and Iraq ever do to us to merit the US military-issued genocidal death by slow burn?

Apparently the UN is looking the other way and the International Criminal Court feels it has better things to do than hear and try war crimes cases involving genocide by super powers that possess the big guns and lethal advanced weaponry… and who are not afraid to use ‘em. 

So that leaves it up to us inside the US to round up the countless psychotic demon seeds who have gotten their rocks off playing Father Death to possibly 2 million human beings who didn’t do a damn thing to harm a blessed hair on any American’s head. 

What do you say we figure out how to police our own federal thugs who: (a) authorized the monies to play civilization annihilator in not one but two nations; (b) planned, organized, and carried out military actions involving these massive, illegal blood bath slaughters; (3) informed the world via lies as to exactly why Afghanistan and Iraq must be invaded, then occupied… and then continue to lie as to why we must eternally “stay the course” - year after year after year?

In the US, typically when crimes are committed, they are first reported and then investigated by a public official who represents the government in prosecuting alleged criminals. This individual, the highest office holder in a particular jurisdiction’s legal department, may be called a District Attorney, State’s Attorney, County Attorney or County Prosecutor.

Do these District Attorneys and their associates working inside the US perhaps simply fail to notice that massive cold-blooded murders are being committed against innocent civilians in not one, but two nations? Is it not their job to investigate murders? Do we need to phone the legal authorities – as ballsy Brits did not long ago  http://www.makewarshistory.org.uk/index.php  and report to the gendarmes that the genociding of two entire nations was, in fact, taking place?

Recently, on these wars, Paul Craig Roberts astutely wrote, “Indiscriminate American violence has reduced Iraq to rubble. The civilian infrastructure is essentially destroyed -- electricity, water and sewer systems, medical care and schools.
