OpEd News reports (December 3rd): Approximately
3.3 million Iraqis, including 750,000 children, were "exterminated"
by economic sanctions and/or illegal wars conducted by the U.S. and Great
Britain between 1990 and 2012, an eminent international legal authority says.
The slaughter fits the classic definition of Genocide
Convention Article II of, "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions
of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in
part," says Francis Boyle, professor of international law at the
University of Illinois, Champaign in an address last Nov. 22 to The
International Conference on War-affected Children in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
