The "Public Option" in Iraq is Genocide

Just Foreign Policy maintains a running estimate of the number of Iraqis who have perished as a result of the American invasion and occupation of Iraq, based on surveys in Iraq conducted by the Lancet and ORB, and for the typical holocaust deniers who always show up asking for proof, proof, proof, and more proof, and still more proof, and even more proof endlessly and forever, my response is... Eat shit and die!

Americans have been obsessing month after month about a "public option" for healthcare, and every other issue has been relegated to niche blogs and the back pages of a few newspapers, and meanwhile in Iraq, which has one hospital bed for every five patients, children die every day from injuries which could have been treated with simple antiseptics and a bandaid, if half of Iraq weren't so completely devastated that you can't even find a bandaid or a bottle of iodine, and if you're looking for links, links, links and still more links because you still don't know fuck-all about Iraq after 6 long years of the genocidal American occupation and you want me to prove everything step by step for the fiftieth time on the blogs... Go fuck yourself!

And in other news, Project Censored chose the annihilation of more than one million Iraqi men, women, and children under the American occupation of Iraq as the most censored story of 2009.
