WHY THE MUSLIMS SHOULD NOT FORGET THE PAST
John Pilger Austra-British Journalist on interviewing Carne Ross:
In 2007, the senior British official responsible for the sanctions, Carne Ross, known as "Mr. Iraq", told a parliamentary selection committee,
"[The US and UK governments] effectively denied the entire population a means to live."
Three years later in an interview with Carne Ross who was consumed with regret and contrition. He said:
"I feel ashamed,"
He said. He is today a rare truth-teller of how governments deceive and how a compliant media plays a critical role in disseminating and maintaining the deception.
"We would feed [journalists] factoids of sanitised intelligence," he said, "or we'd freeze them out."
Is this still not the case today? Would the West take the moral high ground all of a sudden? I don't think so. They've use the media to deceive the public in the past on a 'war' that left over a million people dead. Today they continue to deceive the public and claim the Middle East is in the hands of the Arabs. Yet their involvement in almost every Arab Nation is both factual and evident.
Before that Dennis Halliday said:
"I was instructed to implement a policy that satisfies the definition of genocide: a deliberate policy that has effectively killed well over a million individuals, children and adults."
And his successor Hans Von Sponeck UN Humanitarian Co-ordinator said:
"Imagine setting that pittance against the lack of clean water, and the fact that the majority of sick people cannot afford treatment, and the sheer trauma of getting from day to day, and you have a glimpse of the nightmare. And make no mistake, this is deliberate. I have not in the past wanted to use the word genocide, but now it is unavoidable."
It is important we remember the past. It is not history it is still present as the West are still headed by the same people they were back then. Just because the face of a leader has changed it does not mean the systems they propagate have changed. They have remained - let us not be naive in our political analysis and blame the Muslims for the instabilities in their regions.
Like John Pilger himself said:
"in a country that had no history of jihadism. The Kurds had done territorial and political deals; Sunni and Shia had class and sectarian differences, but they were at peace; intermarriage was common"
The sectarian divides were indeed created by the West.
