 |
|
This National Geographic article puts the Abu Ghraib affair into perspective. Where was the Left when millions of Arabs were being mercilessly slaughtered by their own?
http://www.hughhewitt.com/#postid507
"By mid-January of 2004, 270 mass graves had been reported. The Free Prisoners Society estimates that five to seven million people 'disappeared' in the past two decades, the majority of them Shiites."
This quote is from "Reaching for Power" ( http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0406/feature1/index.html ), a comprehensive article on the Shiites of Iraq in the new issue of National Geographic. The idea of broad indifference to, or even disparagement of the empowerment this week of a new government led by free Iraqis and representing all ethnicities and regions of the country is mind-boggling. When half a million or more people are abducted and murdered by a government each year for twenty years, and then that government ends, it is a huge accomplishment for the good, even when it comes at the great cost of hundreds of American and allied dead, and thousands more wounded. Opponents of the war, beginning with John Kerry, have got to answer what would they have done to stop this killing by a regime that also posed an ongoing threat to the United States and her allies. |

| It's interesting how some posts get untouched by the hooligans. This was posted many hours ago and no responses. |

What could the trolls say??? Dispute the numbers compare them to the prision scandal in Iraq??? Nope they won't touch it because they cannot tie Bush to it. Great work I wonder if the Communist Soros could be swayed  |

I repeat my question:
Where was the Left when millions of Arabs were being mercilessly slaughtered by their own?
Why am I not getting substantive efforts to that question?

And for Saint and his band of merrimakers...
I will help ya with some math. (I am not sure how much of that they still teach in learning institutions)
That is 1/2 million Iraqis a year.
The word GENOCIDE comes to mind.
Way to go USA for ridding Iraq of this mad man.
