As we enter the 2010s the deaths from the Afghanistan War include 4.5 million violent and non-violent excess deaths of Indigenous Afghans since 2001, 1,550 US Alliance deaths and 0.7 million global opiate deaths.

It is estimated from the latest UN Population Division data that in Occupied Afghanistan post-invasion non-violent excess deaths total 3.4 million; post-invasion violent deaths total 1.1 million (assuming expert US-Australian advice that the level of violence has been 4 times lower in the Afghan War than in the Iraq War); post-invasion violent and non-violent avoidable deaths total 4.5 million; and post-invasion under-5 infant deaths total 2.4 million (90% avoidable and due to US Alliance war crimes in gross violence of the Geneva Convention – Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War demand that an Occupier must supply life-sustaining food and medical requisites "to the fullest extent of the means available to it" (see:  http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/instree/y4gcpcp.htm ) but according to the WHO (see:  http://www.who.int/countries/en/ ) the "total annual expenditure on health per capita" permitted in Occupied Afghanistan is $29 as compared to $6,714 in Occupier US and $3,122 in Occupier racist, white Apartheid Australia).

There are 3-4 million Afghan refugees plus a further 2.5 million Pashtun refugees generated in NW Pakistan by the obscene war policies of war criminal Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Obama – this carnage involving 4.5 million post-invasion violent and non-violent excess Afghan deaths constitutes an Afghan Holocaust and an Afghan Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention (see:  http://www.edwebproject.org/sideshow/genocide/convention.html ).

Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention states that "In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: a) Killing members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

The bottom line in any comparative analysis of violent wrongdoing is consequential death. The current "annual death rate" for Occupied Afghan under-5 year old infants under the US Alliance is 7% - as compared to that of 4% (for Poles under the Nazis in WW2), 5% (French Jews under the Nazis and the Nazi-collaborator Vichy régime in WW2), 13% (Australian POWs of the Japanese in WW2) and 19% (Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe) (see "Polish Holocaust (1939-1945)-Afghan Holocaust (2001-)":  http://gpolya.polls.newsvine.com/_news/2009/09/02/3218030-polish-holocaust-1939-1945-afghan-holocaust-2001-?groupId=1191.

About 0.1 million people die from opiate drug-related causes each year (see Australian National Drug Research Centre:  http://db.ndri.curtin.edu.au/media.asp?mediarelid=40 ; UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), "Addiction, crime and insurgency. The transnational threat of Afghan opium", 2009:  http://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/Afghanistan/Afghan_Opium_Trade_2009_web.pdf ) and hence about 0.8 million have died since the invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, of whom about 90%, i.e. 0.9 x 0.8 million = 0.7 million people - including 90,000-130,000 Americans - have died as a result of the huge expansion of the Afghan opium industry under US Alliance occupation and the US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry.

The carnage of Obama's Afghan War, Afghan Holocaust and Afghan Genocide (4.5 million Afghan deaths, 0.7 million global deaths from opiates) is already comparable to that of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million Jews killed, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation).

Decent folk around that World could stop the Afghan War, Afghan Holocaust and Afghan Genocide - by (a) informing others about the carnage and (b) by demanding or applying sanctions, boycotts and criminal prosecutions against people, politicians, corporations and countries responsible (e.g. see "Formal complaint to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) re Australian Government involvement in Aboriginal Genocide, Iraqi Genocide, Afghan Genocide and Climate Genocide ":  http://climateemergency.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html ).
