A culture of death
Clinton ended a major civil war; George Walker Bush has spawned one. Iraq’s main morgue is now receiving more corpses than at any time since modern Iraq was established in the 1920s:
Most of the corpses had gunshot wounds, while others showed marks of burns or electrocution.
Morgues institute officials said that since the institute was established in 1927, it had never received such a huge number of corpses as currently, with the daily average now 35 to 50 per day.
Before the US-led coalition invasion of Iraq and the toppling of Saddam Hussein in 2003, the institute used to receive only seven to 10 corpses per day.
The ‘reconstruction’ should be called, Operation Iraqi Freedom from these Mortal Coils.
But let’s not just focus on the bad news. There also is an upside.
