Pētījums: Irākas karš prasījis 120 000 dzīvību

Ja tas viss tā būtu, tad nožēlojamā dīkstāvē stāvētu ieroču un munīcijas konveijeri, konstruktoru biroji, simtiem uzņēmēju nevarētu kļūt par miljonāriem un miljardieriem, tūkstošiem un tūkstošiem strādnieku būtu bez darba, viņu bērni neēduši, ASV armija jau 20 gadus būtu kaujas nespējīga – pulveri un asinis neostījusi, jo nevar atļauties, kā Krievija, trenēties uz saviem pilsoņiem. Tā kā c’est la vie.

Būtu Bušs vecākais vēl 1991. gadā izbeidzis Huseina režīmu, kas toreiz bija tikai pašsaprotami, nebūtu Putins uzdrīkstējies sarīkot 9/11 terora aktu, šodien nebūtu karu Afganistānā un Sīrijā, nebūtu al-Qaedas. Nebūtu Cargo200, jo tas savu darbu būtu beidzis. Nebūtu vairs žmurikus kur vest, fašistisko izdzimteņu bidlostānas nebūtu.

“IDF dogs are trained to pounce and attack any Arab who shouts Allah Hu Akbar, as a Pavlovian reaction,” said Tibi. “So here I say: Allah Hu Akbar. Are there any dogs here to attack me?”

….

Responding to the allegations, the IDF said in a statement: “One of the canine unit’s many capabilities is to train the dogs at locating the enemy when dressed both in uniform and as civilian. This is an ability that has proven itself in many cases.”

Burvīgs ierosinājums. Gan Irākā “upuru” būtu bijis četrreiz mazāk no abām pusēm, gan reliģiozio dulburu skaits būtu humāni samazināts.

Latvijas dienestiem vajadzētu šito pieredzi tā smalki un savlaicīgi pārņemt.

Irākas IKP 2012 bija 144 miljardi USD.
810 miljardi USD ir ~6 gadu Irākas IKP.
Par tādu naudu nebija vienkāršāk Irāku nopirkt?

Man liekas, ja Sadamam piedāvātu kaut 1/10 no tās summas un laimīgas vecumdienas kādā Karību jūras salā, viņš piekristu.
Un ja nepiekristu, noteikti būtu atrodami bariņš neapmierinātu amatpersonu, kas būtu gatavi “lietu nodarīt” par vēl mazākām summām.
