1 Million Dead Iranians

Comment by Larry Ross, April 22, 2006

Chris Floyd has written a very powerful, well-documented 2 page article on the hell that Bush and his cohorts intend to unleash on Iran and the number of people he decides must die - 1,000,000. How many more will be wounded, maimed, blinded, burned, radiated, slowly dying of their untreated wounds.

The madmen have been ruling America since 2,000. Iraq showed what they could do - they started a war based on lies. Not only did they get away with it, the Bushcons cheated their way into power again in 2004. Now they are ready, and with a few words and decisions, can inflict mass genocide in Iran. Bush has the power to destroy the world many times over. It's very possible this will happen if the nuclear slaughter in Iran triggers an expanding holocaust.

There are many reasons that may be motivating Bush and his partners in war crimes, to proceed with their diabolically evil war plan. The forces of peace, diplomacy, good will, rationality and humanity, are comparatively, very weak and poorly motivated and funded.

But individuals and groups can make a difference if they understand the problems and threats. I hope people decide to do more to prevent the madness from continuing.

If Bush says "Go, in 12 hours up to 1 million Iranians will be dead" Floyd writes.

1 Million Dead Iranians

By Chris Floyd, April 22, 2006

Twelve hours. One circuit of the sun from horizon to horizon, one course of the moon from dusk to dawn. What was once a natural measurement for the daily round of human life is now a doom-laden interval between the voicing of an autocrat's brutal whim and the infliction of mass annihilation halfway around the world.

Twelve hours is the maximum time necessary for American bombers to gear up and launch an unprovoked sneak attack -- a Pearl Harbor in reverse -- against Iran, The Washington Post reports. The plan for this "global strike," which includes a very viable "nuclear option," was approved months ago and is now in operation. The planes are already on continuous alert, making "nuclear delivery" practice runs along the Iranian border, The New Yorker reports, and waiting only for the signal from President George W. Bush to drop their payloads of conventional and nuclear weapons on some 400 targets throughout the condemned land.

And when this attack comes -- either as a stand-alone "knock-out blow" or as the precursor to a full-scale, regime- changing invasion, like the earlier aggression in Iraq -- there will be no warning, no declaration of war, no congressional hearings, no public debate. The already-issued orders governing the operation put the decision solely in the hands of the president. He picks up the phone, he says, "Go," and in 12 hours' time, up to 1 million Iranians will be dead.
