Awaiting Justice
By Dr Gideon Polya

-- -- We have all been horrified at the senseless and evil killing of so many innocent people in London. This atrocity should reinforce our profound objection to all terrorism whether by jihadists or the US political-military-industrial complex. Decent people should be interested in the following statistics that demonstrate the profound dishonesty and racism of the US "War on Terror".
The average annual death rate of Australian POWs under the Japanese in World War 2 was 10.4 per 100 (8,000 deaths out of 22,000 POWs over 3.5 years) [Australian ABC Radio National, 2003].
The annual death rate of under-5 year old infants is 5.8 per 100 in US-occupied Afghanistan and 2.6 per 100 in US-occupied Iraq due to gross Coalition violation of the Geneva Conventions for protection of civilians - terror indeed for the parents [see latest UN Population Division and UNICEF data].
The average annual death rate of Western civilians from jihadist violence has been 0.00003 per 100 (last 20 years) and 0.0001 per 100 (last 5 years) [mainstream media and official Israeli and US sources].
Current laws and procedures clearly protect Western civilians from evil jihadist terrorism - but UK-US Coalition war criminals await justice from the International Criminal Court.
The Jury of Conscience of the World Tribunal on Iraq has recently issued its report charging the UK and US with war crimes over the bombing, sanctioning, invasion and occupation of Iraq - see my summary in MWC News Magazine:

Peace is the only way and rational solutions require truth, reason and free communication. We are obliged to inform others about all man-made mass mortality.
