When Silence Becomes Betrayal: Thousands of Iraqi Children are Dying

Since the U.S. invaded Iraq on 3/20/03 at least 50,000-100,000 civilians have been killed. A great majority of those casualties have been women and children. One of the purposes of the invasion was to “free and liberate” the Iraqi people. The evil reign of Saddam Hussein was proclaimed to have killed thousands of Iraqi civilians.

So if Saddam was evil and killed countless civilians, what of the US and the atrocious record of civilian death since the invasion? Is it just as much murder under US occupation as under Saddam’s regime?

To refuse to count the number of civilians killed is even more cowardly and also so arrogant it is a slap in the face of the occupied nation.
