On this day, ten years ago, the United States invaded Iraq. The administration of George W. Bush committed a war crime, but none of those involved in fabricating evidence to justify the war that they planned and implemented have been held accountable. This is despite the fact that their war has led to the death of one million Arabs and Muslims, along with 5,000 of America's prime in Iraq alone; furthermore, the killing there is ongoing. Justice requires that these individuals be put on trial, and the only fair punishment is for all of them to be executed, including George W. Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and officials like Elliott Abrams, Douglas Feith, and John Bolton. The instigators too deserve trial, for having supported Israel at the expense of U.S. interests and all other interests. These include William Kristol, Richard Perle, Michael Ledeen, Frank Gaffney, Reuel Marc Gerecht, Charles Krauthammer and Alan Dershowitz. All the pages of Al-Hayat would not be enough to cover the names of the war criminals and instigators involved in the Iraq war. I apologize for repeating this: but the pro-Israel gang of war and evil had sent a letter to former President Bill Clinton on February 26, 1998, inciting him to overthrow Saddam. Clinton was too smart to accept their counsel – or their evil. On September 20, 2011, they sent a similar letter to George W. Bush, an ignorant fool as most people agree. As a result, the neoconservatives ruled with him as a front, and exploited the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2011, to persuade him to wage a war that the U.S. lost in the end, along with the war in Afghanistan and the war on terror. The U.S. economy, and with it the world economy, subsequently collapsed in 2008, and the financial crisis continues to the present day, all while the pro-Israel gang blames Obama for something he inherited from George W. Bush – and for what every member of the same gang played a role in bringing about by seeking failed wars and funding them via loans from China and others. I have in front of me a U.S. report that states that the direct cost of the war on Iraq was $2 trillion, which would rise to 5 or 6 trillion if continuing compensations for death, treatment, retirement and so forth are factored in. If there was any justice in this world, the war criminals from the Bush administration and around it would have been placed in a Nazi-like concentration camp, because their crimes are almost as heinous as those of the Nazis, and their prison guards would have been chosen from the relatives of their victims in Iraq and elsewhere. If there was any justice, Cheney would not have dared to say that if he had to do it over, he would have invaded Iraq again without hesitation. Today, Iraq is an Iranian colony. There is a sectarian regime in power and daily terrorism where Muslims are killed at the hands of other Muslims. This is no coincidence, but the result of an old plan. Some of the readers may remember the Iran-Contra affair, where Elliott Abrams, an ultra-neoconservative supporter of Israel, was convicted before he was pardoned by George Bush Sr. Abrams returned to the administration of George W. Bush to spew his poisons, and as a result, America's youths paid the price along with the people of Iraq. That scandal showed that the neocons were conspiring to send weapons to Iran in secret, while the administration ostensibly supported Iraq in the first Gulf War. The neoconservatives have always sought to create sedition between Muslims, and they specifically tried to build a U.S.-Shia alliance against the Sunni majority in the world and the Arab countries. The Americans establish relations with the Arabs reluctantly, and hate Iran reluctantly. They believe that supporting a minority that represents ten percent of Muslims is sufficient to distract Muslims through infighting, and help Israel dominate the resources of the Middle East. After the Second World War, justice was served when Nazis were put on trial while their senior leaders involved in the Holocaust were executed. But the crime of the twentieth century was repeated against the Arabs and Muslims in this century. Rather than have the war criminals arrested and brought before courts like the world witnessed during the last century in Nuremberg, the criminals remained at large, which encouraged them to continue their evil racist policy, and try to return to power to destroy what was left of America's military and economic capacity, and kill the largest possible number of Arabs and Muslims. These people are all war criminals, and there is conclusive evidence against them, gathered by U.S. intellectuals, former officials and researchers. All that is needed is international will to put them on trial, as they deserve. [email protected]
