King Herod & George Bush

CHRISTMAS DAY 2006 is almost with us and our thoughts turn to the Birth of Jesus Christ and to Reverence for Mother and Child which is the common belief of all decent people. It being Christmas and because horrendous events in the Holy Land and the Middle East are so much in the fore of daily news reports, I have written a contemporary ANNOTATION of the Story of the Birth of Jesus as told in Matthew Chapter 2 of the beautiful King James version of the Holy Bible.

Because I am an agnostic humanist scientist concerned with excess mortality (excess death, avoidable death, avoidable mortality, deaths that should not have happened) my interspersed Annotations below are concerned with current acute mortality realities relating to the Matthew Chapter 2 story. In short, the King received Intelligence of a Threat to his Rule and was told by the Wise Men from the East that the Threat would be born in Bethlehem. After the Birth of the Holy Child, the Holy Family fled as Refugees to escape the horrendous Mass Infanticide ordered by the King, returning only when the King finally died, and, avoiding Judaea, go to reside in Nazareth in Galilee. Thus began the Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ whose Message of Love has inspired all People of Goodwill.  




  In 2006, the Bush War on Terror (in horrendous reality a war on Muslim Women and Children, or more generally a War on Asian Women and Children) continued to devastate Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan while threatening to expand.... Of course the American-perceived Threat is one to Resources in general. As acutely seen by former World Bank president James Wolfensohn, China and India (former world economic leaders crippled by racist European violence and colonialism from the  late 18th to the mid-20th century) are set to overtake the US and the G7 in the 21st century) .

LIES & EXCUSES. Just as the homicidal King  Herod wanted to know where the Child would be born, so George Bush sought Intelligence and Excuses for War.... Invasion and Occupation of Iraq required extensive lying about Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and we have now just been told by a top CIA official that Bush,  Cheney, and Dr Rice (Dr Death) were actually told by CIA Director Tenet in Fall 2002 that Iraq had no WMD.

THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTED STATISTICS are presented on the THIRD ANNIVERSARY of the US-led Coalition INVASION OF IRAQ (18 March 2003).

IN SUMMARY, the post-invasion war-related avoidable mortality in Occupied Iraq and Afghanistan and globally totals 2.7 MILLION and the economic cost to the US of the Iraq War has been expertly estimated at US$1-2 TRILLION.

MARCH 2006 – the LATEST UN FIGURES (see: http://esa.un.org/unpp/) indicate that the post-invasion avoidable mortality (excess mortality, man-made mortality) is 0.5 MILLION (US-occupied Iraq) and 1.8 MILLION (US-occupied Afghanistan); the post-invasion under-5 infant mortality totals 0.4 MILLION and 1.4 MILLION, respectively.

MARCH 2006 - the LATEST UNICEF FIGURES (see: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/index.html) indicate that 0.5 MILLION under-5 year old infants die in Occupied Iraq and Afghanistan annually (1,300 daily and 90% avoidably) due to NON-PROVISION by the Occupying UK-US-led Coalition of the life-sustaining requisites demanded of Occupiers by the Geneva Conventions (passive genocide) (see: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm).
