obliterated Iraqi cities, DU shot-up environment, countless crippled and maimed
human beings, innumerable shattered lives and how does the NYT express its
outrage; by calling it ‘bad enough’? “Sorry mommy, I just killed a million
people.” “That’s bad. Don’t do that again, now eat your spinach” eh? Bad
enough!? Someone hand me the sick bag please.
Every canon of the United Nations and the 1945 Nuremberg
Charters, the International Humanitarian Law and the Geneva Conventions has been
shot to doll rags by this criminal cabal in its willful, premeditated genocide
of an innocent people and what does the American media leviathan call it? Bad
enough!?
Not just the international laws, in the US Law itself all
jurisdictions which use capital punishment designate the highest grade of murder
a capital crime. What’s more, even aggravated rape is a capital crime in
Louisiana, Florida, and Oklahoma; extortionate kidnapping in Oklahoma;
aggravated kidnapping in Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky and South Carolina; aircraft
hijacking in Alabama; drug trafficking resulting in a person’s death in
Connecticut; train wrecking which leads to a person’s death, and perjury which
leads to a person’s death in California. And here, the wanton destruction of a
whole country and annihilation of its innocent citizens is merely ‘bad enough’
for the New York Times?
How about finally telling the Americans the fact that they
were used as pawns in the ghastly drama played amidst decomposing Iraqi corpses.
How about finally reporting the horrendous crime committed by the US forces in
the Iraqi city of Fallujah? How about informing the Americans that the city was
bombed, re-bombed, its citizens gunned down, its structures devastated by
powerful weapons till it was nothing but a hell on earth of crushed bodies,
shattered buildings and the reek of death?
How about giving them the eyewitnesses’ testimony that
reported human corpses littering Fallujah’s streets, nibbled at by starving
canines and parents forced to watch their wounded children die and then bury
their bodies in their gardens? Why not finally tell the Americans an Iraqi
journalist’s exact report to the BBC and Reuters: “I have seen some strange
things recently, such as stray dogs snatching bites out of bodies lying on the
streets. Meanwhile, people forage in their gardens looking for something to eat.
Those that have survived this far are looking gaunt. The opposite is happening
to the dead, left where they fell, they are now bloated and rotting…”?
How about publishing on the front page, the ghastly images
from Abu Ghuraib, including the thuggish grinning faces of Specialists Sabrina
Harman and Charles Garner peering out with an evil force, each offering a
“thumbs-up” gesture as if posing for a pride of performance award with an ice
packed corpse of an innocent, tortured to death Iraqi in the background? How
about ordering an investigative report into America’s torture trail that, from
Uzbekistan and Pakistan to Guantanamo Bay, weaves across the globe? How about
finally checking out what the American officials affectionately called ‘the
renditions’? How about running on the front page a video called “Hadji Girl” in
which just a few of the lyric lines go as;
I grabbed her little sister and put her in front of me,
As the bullets began to fly,
The blood sprayed from between her eyes,
And then I laughed maniacally. . .
I blew those little f**ckers to eternity . . .
They should have known they were f**king with the Marines.
How about finally informing the Americans that not just the
murder of a million plus human beings, their rulers also stand accused
of bullying unilateralism, dismissive approach towards international treaties,
rude attitude towards other nations and cultures, and disrespect for
institutions of the world government?
How about finally admitting that the real lesson of the
current American onslaught on a defenseless, but oil rich, people is nothing
other than that there is no limit to the horrors that the ruling American class
will inflict to stay in power and gobble up the fast dwindling world resources;
that as long as the American nation continues to tolerate these leaders, who
make lies seem true and slaughter respectable, mass carnage will continue to be
committed in their name?
How about highlighting in bold letters American historian
Howard Zinn’s quote that says, “There is no flag large enough to cover the
shame of killing innocent people“? How about becoming the vanguard of a
movement to expose the ugly truth of America’s wars and informing the Americans
that these wars are waged for nothing other than corporate power, global
conquest, death, destruction and oppression? How about pursuing relentlessly the
murderous charlatans who still strut about on the national and international
scenes?
Now that every one and Charlie’s aunt knows of the crimes of
America’s ruling cabal, how about finally asking to bring out the hangman’s
ropes?
How about it, eh New York Times? Pray, tell us
