War Crimes

A report on United States

War Crimes against Iraq

by Ramsey Clarke and others

Report to the Commission of Inquiry for the

International War Crimes Tribunal

Maisonneuve Press, 1992

Facts are blunt things, easy to cite and substantiate This is a study

based on a factual analysis of unfolding events. But facts area thin

reed when there are great material interests at stake.

The oil-rich Gulf region is the largest concentration of natural wealth

on the planet today. Yet it is a looted region of wrenching poverty.

Facts or defenseless humans seem to matter little in the struggle over

who dominates and controls this essential resource.

Seventy-five years ago in the midst of World War I those who opposed

the war, claiming that it was a struggle to re-divide and carve up the

world markets, had far fewer facts to prove their point. In the heat of

a war that cost 20 million lives, the very charge was treated as treason.

Today, any high school history book will describe World War I

as

a

war

Of horrific and stupid slaughter – a struggle for power amongst the major

Imperialist nations. Fought by murderers – soldiers. And for the benefit of

gangsters.

THE FIRST GULF WAR – THE US CONNED SADDAM HUSSEIN

THE DEATHS OF THOUSANDS – THIS LEAD TO THE PRESENT
