United States Leading Export: Gun Violence

By Daniel Kelley

February 5th, 2005

Children killed by high speed projectile violence in each country as a percent of the population, (not specifically child population).

.0000000 Japan
.0000007 Germany
.000031 UK
.000181 France
.00048 Canada
.00097 US
.184 Iraq

These figures were derived by dividing Gun violence deaths for each country by each countries approximate population X100 to draw each as a percent.

The statistics were taken from:

Iraq "International Coalition" Caused Child Violent Death Statistics:

Lancet purports 46% of 100,000 likely U.S. slaughtered, and so 95% by aerial weaponry, were children.

That's 46,000 Iraqi Children who have been slain by U.S. guns/explosives. By way of comparison near 2,900 U.S. children were high speed projectile slain in 2002. The U.S. already rates as the worst of custodians preventing gun violence against children and has now taken their show on the road, to Baghdad exactly.

All this begs the question: "Is it easier to kill children of a different color?"

With these overwhelming statistics as well historic record of such affirmative response being the answer exact; Bushes sending our moronic trigger happy marauders on a crusade against muslims (doubtless referred to in typical provincial backwoods marine sniper terms as towel heads) and into harms way (bring em on); is a moral outrage of the most ailing order.

Survival Threatened, Options Limited, Gun Empowered and the "Law" Seemingly on Your Side

U.S. troops finding themselves smack dab in the middle of hostile brown children; starved potential to communicate toward resolution of any issue; empowered primarily by guns though also to disregard legality (having observed no comrade bare the international nor local law supported recourse of their actions); the slaughter of the children U.S. forces are there pitted against is about as predictable a result as could be.

The Iraqi children will die if the occupiers are not repelled. Though their deaths will be more so caused by cholera and lacking adequate medical treatment resultant Bushes Iraq economic stimulus plan. Many U.S. soldiers will die if they don't kill Iraqi children, due the harsh realities of war, such overwhelming force requisite to near garner casualty free combat.

The largest factors influencing the chaos and slaughter ongoing in Iraq; particularly the hostile positioning (economically impoverished Iraq), lacking communicative ability (few troops trained to speak the local language), death weaponry as primary empowerment (military standard) and legal status: yet any prosecuted, are all the pursuance of Bush and company. This is to say all of such materialized resultant certain administrative action.

This maligning of both U.S. and Iraqi militants is certainly not limited to government officials. Culpability doubtless lays primarily in U.S. corporate quarters and so through policy influence initiated via finance. The policies are though actualized through federal statute with the assistance of both the Executive and Congressional branches preceeding the requisite silence of the Judiciary toward this blatant illegalities execution unchallenged. Such policy is well notably forwarded by "think tanks" and seized upon by certain corporate elements as a means of expanding financial dominance.

What's worse than simply setting this child slaughter situation up is there have been reports by our troops that orders were issued and followed to "kill women and children." Few people so gullible as to follow such illegal orders are willing to admit to transgressions that will likely have results so severe as to effect their loss of capacity to again engage women romantically. Not very many women "dig" child killers and as few child killers are likely to soon explore seeking forgiveness as an option for redemption.

Our child killers are more likely to follow the silence orders issued, particularly while immersed in a community supportive of such as other child killers. These child killers are quite likely to, years down the line, following introversion as a means of suppressing the stress of what their past choices mean for their future, either emerge in recognition of their fault or enact further violence against the powerless.

Keeping our child killers amongst their child slaughtering support community (U.S. military in Iraq) is a necessity to preserve the endowment of power afforded by the U.S. citizenry relative financial dominance and policy afflict. Light falling on the crimes performed by the present powers will dry up to nothing the puddle, that is their seeming legitimacy and shortly there after render them impotent due lacking human support. The human support they enjoy today is well notably commanded through finance, in no way (not even by their own claim) premised on overall human beneficience and is as illegitimate a command of human effort as ever Earthly humanity has suffered.
