<p>Objection to post #79, Discussioner, Whistler4145, made a unproven statement “Iranian terrorist diplomats” that is also grossly misleading and inflammatory.</p>

<p>Rather than get into a numbers game with you, I invite you to read the works of Denis Halliday, member of the U.N. High Commission, who resigned because of the Clinton genocide. He notes that it wasn’t just the sanctions, but the continued bombing of the wastewater treatment plants under Clinton.</p>
<p>The UNICEF figures were likely underestimates (as some of the UNICEF researchers have noted). This is because they looked at the death rate through 1999, when the Oil for Food program, formed because of European outrage at the Clinton genocide, was already operating for two years. The death rate 1992 through 1996 was in fact higher.</p>
<p>Be that way, no matter how you slice and dice the numbers, Bill Clinton killed (and Madeleine Albright confirmed) more children than all of the children killed by Saddam Hussein over 30 years.</p>

<p>I don’t see what you find so difficult about the diplomat stuff? The Kurds (who invited the diplomatic mission into the country in 1996) invited the mission in, and say it is a mission. The Iraq government (the Iraqis OPPOSED the setting up of a diplomatic mission there in 1996) say it is a diplomatic mission. The Iranians say it is a diplomatic mission. They are united - Kurds, Shiites, Sunnis - all of them agree it is a diplomatic mission.</p>
<p>The only ones who disagree are the U.S. terrorist kidnappers.</p>
<p>I have no doubt that Iranians aid and abet those who want the occupiers to leave. Let’s take that as a given. But to do so through Irbil - well, just take a look at a map!</p>
<p>Mini, so you are saying that Iraq has become so backwards and archaic that terrorists from Ibril cannot coordinate with terrorists from Baghdad and from terrorists in Iran? I may be wrong because I am not as well versed in this conflict as you are but they still do have modern technology right?</p>
<p>What do you mean by “aid and abbetting those who want US troops out”. Perhaps we are both misunderstanding eachoter. When I mention terrorists, I mean those that blow up little children in Baghdad or send shrapnel into old men and women buying food at the market.</p>
<p>Whom do you refer to when you mention “aid and abbetting”</p>
<p>But again my question still stands. Who should we believe? and Why?</p>
<p>I personally would like to believe Iran. I feel America is wrong. So this is the reasoning I use. What drew the line for me was not Iranian terror, calls for another country to not exist, the building of nuke to use on other country but the fact that America, France, Britain, Germany, Egypt, Israel, and the UN got together and cnspired to lie about WMD. Coupled with the fact that our government dunks terrorists in water, listens in on their conversations, illegaly freezers their own money, regardless of its destination, and imprisons them for indefinte periods of time, make me trust Iran more than America.</p>
<p>I would like to hear your opinion as to whom we trust and why because you seem to know much about this conflict.</p>
