The "annual death rate" for Afghan infants is about 7%, this proving what an utter sham "democracy" is in Occupied Afghanistan and the war criminality of the US Alliance Occupiers, the US, the UK, NATO and Australia.

According to UNICEF, 338,000 under-5 year old infants die every year in Occupied Afghanistan (see:  http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/afghanistan.html ).

According to the UN Population Division the under-5 infant population of Occupied Afghanistan is about 5,000,000 (see:  http://esa.un.org/unpp/p2k0data.asp ).

We can translate the above authoritative statistics into an "annual death rate" of 338,000 x 100/5,000,000 = 6.8% for Occupied Afghanistan under-5 year old infants i.e. about 7 out of every 100 Occupied Afghanistan under-5 year old infants die each year (90% avoidably and due to US Alliance war crimes - thus according to WHO (see:  http://www.who.int/countries/usa/en/ ) the "total annual per capita health expenditure" the US Alliance permits in Occupied Afghanistan is only $29 as compared to $6,714 in the US ).

The "annual death rate" is about 7% for Occupied Afghan under-5 year old infants as compared to 3% (for inmates of the Nazi German Buchenwald Concentration Camp), 5% (for French Jews under Nazi German and French collaborationist Vichy regime), 10% (for Australian prisoners of war of the Japanese in WW2) and 17% (for Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe 1941-1945) (see:  http://bellaciao.org/en/spip.php?article18881 ).

Would the Afghan parents and family members of these innocent victims willingly vote for puppets of the US Alliance mass murderers of Afghan children?

Would the World War 2 inmates of Buchenwald Concentration Camp, French Jews in Nazi-occupied France, Australian POWs of the Japanese or Jews of Nazi-occupied Europe have voted for representatives of their murderous captors and persecutors?

Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (see:  http://www.un-documents.net/gc-4.htm ) state that an Occupier must make requisite life-sustaining food and medical provisions "to the fullest extent of the means available to it" to its occupied subjects.

George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Barack Hussein Obama (BHO), Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Tony Blair, George Brown, John Howard, Kevin Rudd, Stephen Harper, Nicolas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel and their war criminal associates and underlings should be arraigned before the International Criminal Court for war crimes, including the mass murder of children.

Post-invasion under-5 year old infant deaths in Occupied Afghanistan now total 2.3 million.

Thou shalt not kill children.
