babies for oil

If Americans could fathom the reality that they have killed 1 million Iraqis since 1990, maybe "babies for oil" might not seem like a "liberal" anti-Bush statement. It is in fact the reality of US foreign policy that no one wants to admit to.

Number of Iraqi children who have died as a direct result of US/UN sanctions according to UNICEF: 500,000

Number of barrels of oil in Iraq's proven reserves: 112,000,000,000

Ranking of Iraq among countries with proven reserves of oil: 2
