The hidden plight of Iraqi Children
"liberate" the 513 Iraqi children, who are currently imprisoned in Iraq, having been classified as "imperative threats to security“ by the illegal occupiers
Few words can actually describe the barbarity which the British and American governments have brought to the children of Iraq, that not being satisfied with the murder of 1.5 million children under Sanctions, in a “price worth paying” campaign, the armies of freedom and democracy have further destroyed the lives of over 4.5 million Iraqi children, by bringing to them the gift of becoming an orphan.
Unlike the hysteria which surrounds the Labour Party culture of Big Brother, and their allies who screamed about the Conservative victory at the elections in May, only silence has echoed from them all, as Iraq’s children are forced into greater destitution, with rations now being denied to 5 million families and an estimated 25,000 children being forced to flee the “security” of home each month.
Silence has also fallen upon the fact that 400,000 of Iraq’s children suffer from wasting, that children are being kidnapped by criminal gangs and forced into the sex trade, with 1.3 million children, aged between 8 to 16 years old being forced to abandon education and become workers to supplement a families meagre income.
Non of the political parties, who held policies against the war in 2003, have dared oppose Labour by launching campaigns in defence of Iraq’s children, and bringing to the British publics attention the truth of what the occupation has caused and the real damage that Labour has done to the future peace and security of Iraq.
They don’t even have the nerve to actively resist the detention of children in American prisons, by opposing the detention of a shocking 2,400 Iraqi children, with some being as young as 10, according to Human Rights Watch.
In light of the actions and the huge amounts of money raised for the inmates of Guantanimo Bay, the members of the British Trade Unions, the Stop the War Coalition, Amnesty International, the Liberal Democrats and the so-called Labour Party Representation Committee, each have an obligation to plan and "liberate" the 513 Iraqi children, who are currently imprisoned in Iraq, having been classified as "imperative threats to security“ by the illegal occupiers.
And where is the British media, when you consider that British Troops are still on Iraqi soil, as part of the coalition of the coerced, that the possibility of even broadcasting the truth on every television set and printing on the front page of every news paper across the country, would mean that Great Britain would be forced to admit that their Government is aligned with a regime which lies and imprisons children and whose actions have subjugated millions to a life of total misery.
It would also mean that Britain would be forced to take decisive action against a “cabinet of war criminals“ as described by George Monbiot last month. With the Nuremberg tribunal characterising a war of aggression as "the supreme international crime". As Monbiot also stated, “It is not just that Britain's Labour government launched and sustained an unprovoked war, it also sabotaged all means of achieving a peaceful resolution.”
Therefore the children of Iraq need guarantee’s from people and that guarantee has got to convey a message which shakes the very foundations of Britain's Parliament, which leaves me to ask you the same question that Western leaders have already asked us; are you with us or against us?
