Unacceptable Casualties

America’s wars over the past decade have highlighted many heinous crimes but one stands out in particular, the slaughter of innocent civilians! The huge number of civilian deaths from relatively contained small wars is outrageous -- over 1.4 million in Iraq alone -- a figure which is an affront to all moral and civilised societies and needless to say, is completely unacceptable. But as we have ALL learned recently, America disregards all laws except when it wishes to apply them to others.

What drew my attention to America’s horrid disregard for civilian life, was how Russia carried out a bloodless coup in East Ukraine. It highlights a cogent point, coups are bloodless when the people approve and a mature and disciplined military carries them out.

Should we compare Russia’s amazing ability with America’s amateurish effort in Iraq? We should all recall how neo-con and demented dunce, Paul Wolfowitz, constantly repeated that the Iraqi people would welcome US invaders with “bouquets of flowers!” He couldn’t have been more wrong, as the civilian death toll indicates.

But what were the main factors determining such a huge death toll? The fact that the US military trains its personnel to devalue all lives but its own is probably the answer -- gone are the standards of WWII when opposing sides -- Japanese excluded -- respected the lives of civilians and prisoners of war, I have spoken to many veterans and war prisoners from WWII and they overwhelmingly held a respect for an honourable enemy -- the Japanese being the brutal barbarian exception.

Today it is indisputable that the new barbarians of the world are the Americans -- death toll statistics which are freely available in the public domain easily verify the fact. And that is not the half of it!

America is a criminal State run by criminals for criminals and to hell with civilised values and anyone that gets in its way.

History teaches us that empires with similar principles were reviled by almost all nations and that the hatred created by the ruling power translated into its fall -- Americans remain oblivious to useful historical information at very great cost!

In order to avoid hellish civilian death toll statistics today’s wars should be confined to UN approved areas similar to the ‘Colosseum of Rome;’ all war games would be supervised by representatives from nations of the world. Baseball bats should be issued to warring parties and to the leaders of the warring nations and they should all be allowed to bash each other's useless brains out while innocent civilians watch. Obama was recently quoted as saying, “turns out I'm really good at killing people; didn't know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine!"

So the homosexual psychopath is surprised by his new talent! In view of the warped mentality of this depraved person could any civilised being offer one good reason why the world should allow Obama and his ilk to live among the vast majority of peace loving human beings that are appalled by war and needless suffering -- SICK IS AS SICK DOES!
