No mention is usually made of the Iraqi casualties

Dear Editor,
Whenever the casualties of the Iraq war are discussed in the western media, the emphasis is on the U.S. casualties. No mention is usually made of the hundreds of thousands of  Iraqi men, women and children who have been killed, brutalized and tortured by the ‘liberators’ from the west.
You seem to follow the same pattern, based on your editorial of 1st April 2008 – and have the same mindset as the western media of the impact of the unjust war initiated by Bush and his republican cohorts – many of whom have benefited enormously from war contracts. When the Iraq war was started, I wondered why George Bush did not invade North Korea who had many more weapons of mass destruction. Then I remembered – North Korea has no oil.
