back in 1990. Leaders of the USA can be counted on to verbally condemn and initiate action against other nations they accuse of committing genocide, but both dynasties, the Bushes and the Clintons thought nothing of the systemic devastation they brought upon the Iraqi people and we most certainly have allowed it. Just the number of deaths of the children alone in that nation, since the sanctions were implemented and now, with the occupation, can be classed as nothing less than deliberate genocide. Total in all the deaths in Iraq due to our foreign policies during the past 18 years and we have the elimination of a sovereign nation. Could there be any other word to describe it? Wish someone would put this question to Hillary and Barack during one of their war-waffling sessions!
