Data from authoritative sources such as UN agencies (e.g. UNICEF, the UN Population Division) and the top medical literature indicate that post-invasion excess deaths in Occupied Iraq now total 1.5-2 million; post-invasion under-5 year old infant deaths total 0.6 million; and refugees total 4.5 million - this constituting an Iraqi Genoicde as defined by the Un Genocide Convention. Yet racist, lying, Mainstream media of the Western Murdochracies utterly IGNORE this carnage in a process of outrageous holocaust commisssion and holocaust denial.

Here is a succinct summary of the horrendous human cost of what outstanding conservative American economist, editor, writer and academic Dr Paul Craig Roberts and outstanding humanitarian UK-Australian writer John Pilger BOTH describe as the Iraqi Genocide (please feel free to publish this and re-publish the detailed documented analysis “Continued Australian and US Coalition war crimes in Occupied Iraq”:  http://open.newmatilda.com/crosswire/?p=142 ):

1.5-2.0 million post-invasion violent and non-violent excess deaths in Occupied Iraq, 0.6 million under-5 infant deaths & 4.5 million refugees

Recent authoritative estimates of violence-related post-invasion excess deaths in occupied Iraq (as of September 2007) are of 1.2 million (from the expert UK ORB polling company:  http://www.opinion.co.uk/Newsroom_details.aspx?NewsId=78 and  http://www.countercurrents.org/polya190907.htm ) and 0.8 million (from the top US Bloomberg School of Public Health group at Johns Hopkins University who estimated 0.6 million violent deaths as of July 2006) (see:  http://www.thelancet.com/webfiles/images/journals/lancet/s0140673606694919.pdf ) .

The prestigious US Just Foreign Policy organization estimates over 1.1 million post-invasion Iraqi deaths due to U.S. invasion (see:  http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/iraq/iraqdeaths.html ).

Authoritative estimates of non-violent post-invasion excess deaths in Occupied Iraq as of September 2007 are of 0.7 million (from the latest UN Population Division data:  http://esa.un.org/unpp/ ) and of 0.8 million (calculated from United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF, data on post-invasion under-5 year old infant deaths:  http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/index.html ; for impoverished Third World countries the under-5 infant deaths are about 0.7 of the total excess deaths, as described in the MWC News article “Layperson’s Guide to Counting Iraq deaths”:  http://mwcnews.net/content/view/5872/26/ ).

We can now estimate total post-invasion violent and non-violent occupied Iraqi excess deaths and these clearly range from 0.7 million + 0.8 million = 1.5 million (minimum estimate) to 0.8 million + 1.2 million = 2.0 million (upper estimate) (see “Iraq: Genocide by all definition. Bush’s Iraq War. 2 million Iraqi excess deaths”: .  http://mwcnews.net/content/view/17066/42/ ).

UNICEF and UN Population Division data indicate 0.6 million post-invasion under-5 infant deaths. UNHCR and the BRussells Tribunal indicate 4.5 million Iraqi refugees (2005 population 27 million) (see “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007:  http://mwcnews.net/content/view/1375/247/ and  http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/ ).

Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Please inform everyone you can.
