Questions About 'The Barbaric And The Civilized'
After denouncing the July 7, 2005 attacks in London that resulted in 55 deaths, to date, Dr. Chandra Muzaffar of Malaysia, "a member of the Jury of Conscience of the World Tribunal on Iraq (WTI) which sat in Istanbul from 23 to 27 June 2005," asked in as July 18, 2005 Tehran Times.com article: If it is barbaric to murder 52 civilians in London, is it civilized to kill 100,000 civilians in Iraq? For that is the number of civilians who have died in Iraq as a result of the Anglo-American occupation of that land since March 2003, according to a Johns Hopkins University study.
Among other questions, he asked: "Why is it that the barbaric deeds of those who claim to be civilized are not part of the popular consciousness?"
Great question.
See "The barbaric and the civilized" for more of Mr. Muzaffar's commentary.
