The Evil Is In Our Government

Paul Craig Roberts at LewRockwell.com - the world's biggest, most dangerous, most blood-thirsty terrorist cell is in Washington DC. [lew]

Bush damns the "axis of evil." But who has the "axis of evil" attacked? Iran has attacked no one. North Korea has attacked no country for more than a half-century. Iraq attacked Kuwait a decade and a half ago, apparently after securing permission from the US ambassador.

Isn't the real axis of evil Bush-Blair-Olmert? Bush and Blair have attacked two countries, slaughtering their citizens. Olmert is urging them on to attack a third country -- Iran.

Where does the danger to the world reside? In Iran, a small religious country where the family is intact and the government is constrained by religious authority and ancient traditions, or in the US where propaganda rules and the powerful executive branch has removed itself from accountability by breaking the constitutional restraints on its power?

Why is the US superpower orchestrating fear of puny Iran?

...

The former terrible tyrant ruler of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, is on trial for killing 150 people. The US government murdered 500,000 Iraqi children prior to Bush's invasion. When the US government murders people, whether Serbs, Branch Davidians at Waco, or Iraqi women and children, it is "collateral damage." But we put Saddam Hussein on trial for putting down rebellions.

Gentle reader, do you believe that the Bush Regime will not shoot you down in the streets if you have a rebellion?

He's likely referring to the rumor that 500,000 Iraqi children died due to U.S. trade sanctions against Iraq. Don't know for sure, though. All LRT writers post their email addresses. Why don't you ask him?

That is one estimate of one of the effects of the US-led international trade sanctions / embargo of Iraq that was in effect between the two US-Iraq wars.

Oops...I missed the fact that the referenced quotation was inside a blockquote. Apologies...

You're right, I think he's referring to the trade sanction estimates. I was thinking more along the lines of a massacre I had missed hearing about.
