Me too, esp. if the 300,000 kid die-off starts within 2 wk. (allowing for incubation period, etc.) as forecast by UN, reported by Reuters. Still mystified why it's small potatoes compared who did the first "baby parades" allegedly for "propaganda vs dramatizing the taboos not spoken of in the oh, so cultured Europe and U.S". Will soon post my chapter at home.gwu.edu/~nagy in the Pluto bk on Iraq scheduled out in Sept. with Ch1 written by Prof. Falk. Cheerio its off to count the unfashionable dead kids from our latest US/UK enabled epidemic Dumb, gouche, pragmatic non Oxbridge, non Ivy League Ph.D. of lowly E. European origins, tom p.s. I never doubt for a minute the courage of individual investigators for AI, etc. and regret most sincerely if any thing I said gave that impression. After all, what right do I have to crititicize another's courage -- I'm the guy who folded after just a few days in Baghdad and lacked the courage of my colleagues who pushed on to Basra. Deeply sorry, if I gave that impression. It's the general refusal to examine and publicized sufficiently the underlying vs. proximae causes of horrors that bother me because the results here in D.C. such taboo lets the U.S. Gov. off the hook even if wehn enables continuing, industrial strength, assesmbly line efficient torture and death via bombs bombing of individulals [see iraqbodycount.org ] and the hugly greater and more pain-death induction efficient mode of bombing the infrastructure or preventing its rebuiliding or resupply. t.
