Modern day massacre

"I don't consider it a credible report" says one of the most giant mass murderers of recent times about the estimates lied down in a report published by the Lancet on the death tolls arisen from western intervention in Iraq. "The study design is robust and employs methods that are regarded as close to "best practice" in this area, given the difficulties of data collection and verification in the present circumstances in Iraq" refutes the opening statement of this article, while it is spoken by a professional on the subject of elaborative investigation. It is perhaps this distinction between professionalism that lies at the core of the problem of rogue democracy. Policies should be based on facts, or credible estimates, instead of mumbojumbo statistics from so called 'intelligence', that by no means can be verified by any parliament whatsoever.

The western world has some supremacy of military strength, but their tactics are based on cowardice. It may be true that modern day warfare reduces risks for 'friendly' soldiers, and that its aim is to administer annihilation on the opposite side. But the cowardice lies in the fact that when enemy fire is suspected, first heavy bombardments take place before a single soldier dares to investigate if there was hostility to be found indeed. Afterwards figures might explain these rogue actions away as 'collateral damage', which does not figure out the amount of casualties, if possible to retrieve this from the rubble.

But, at least two heads of government have ordered to go to war on false grounds, and close their eyes for the destruction they have administered, while in open honesty believing they are saviours of humanity and examples of righteous decisionmaking. They fought for democracy and a free world, but never succeeded in doing this. They instead are the frauds that should be captured, tried, and hanged by the neck for their atrocities. Their credibility has been lost, if it ever was there.

Mind you, we are facing here a death toll of 550 persons a day, since this conflict started in 2003.
And we must not forget these figures exclude casualties in Afghanistan and thereabouts.
