This is nonsense. The reason why it was believed to be inflated was due to statistics provided by Iraq which was used in the West to calculate child mortality rate.

Calling it a war crime is simply hysterical. Nobody went in and shot or bombed those children. Nor was food blocked from entering Iraq. In so far as children died it was highly indirect and the Iraq regime carried a major responsibility for that happening.

But sure try to call me a racist to cover up the weakness of your arguments. It is the goto solution for anyone who are to lazy to make a real case.

You cannot even make the case that I am racist. You simply assert that I am racist because I don’t agree with you.

Racism means that you think a group of people are inherently inferior for genetic reasons. That no amount of help could make them equal some supposed superior race.

I am not a racist but a culturalist. I do think there are cultures of different quality. That they are not all the same. South African apartheid was example of a society with a bad culture. The same applies to the gender apartheid of Saudi Arabia today.

Cultures however are human creations and not biology. They can be changed. I don’t believe they are inherent to any person. Let the same person grow up in different cultures and different families and they will end up different.
