Why are hundreds of sick or injured Iraqi children,who could be easily treated left to die?

Question

nearly a 100 eminant doctors have signed an appeal to Tony Blair about the desperate plight of children in Iraqi hospitals who can`be treated because of the lack of medical supplies

the doctors are backed by a group of international lawyers who claim that the conditions in Iraqi hospitals amount to a breach of the Geneva convention

Its to do with Blair because as an ocupying force Britain has to comply with the geneva convention The US and UK made those children their responsibility by invading Iraq

Answer 1

Because delivering medical supplies is as shambolic as everthing else to do with the occupation. Can incompetence be a crime against humanity?

Answer 2

OK, so what about the 1000's of British kids that need treatment and as far as I recall Iraq did not sign the Geneva convention else they would not be able to do the stuff they do and put it on the internet.................

Let the docs go and pay for it them selves I for one am bloody fed up of kids being sent to the back of the line be it via the NHS or in the USA [thru lack of funds] as the money is being funneled else where..........or am I still the t\only one that recalls our baby units being shut down at a rate of knots at the SAME time as the UK was building funding training and staffing a baby unit or 10 in Africa, when hospitals had to pick which twin lived and which twin died as they ONLY had room to save one baby...........

Answer 3

None of these children have votes in the US or the UK. If Blair and Bush don't even listen to those who can vote them out (I marched twice against the stupid war) why are they going to bother with Iraqi children ? Unless their parents are rich - Blair and Bush couldn't care less

Answer 4

nicely one reason is that comments imbedded in iraq can extremely get out of the golf green zone and whilst they do they're with us troops, so as that one layer of filtering perfect there. its on the information, i think of you're worried abou the intensity of the coverage, and that i agree, Virginia Tech replaced right into a tragedy, yet not the only one. And for persons asserting that the iraq bombings arent information, its in simple terms unhappy that individuals interior u.s. cant see how american is seen by potential of persons exterior of it. people in maximum different worldwide places have taken a arms off approach. The UN replaced into in touch with nuclear inspections befor the conflict and that wasnt sufficient for us. So now iraq is so undesirable we cant even get a senator to depart the golf green zone with out apache helicoptors and great bodyguard presence. so which you would be able to think of how difficult it somewhat is for a commonly used reporter

Answer 5

When the Iraqi`s who don`t want the UK/USA forces to leave Iraq wake up to reality and join the real world, they will realise that the UK/USA troops are to busy fighting Iraqi`s, Iraqi`s who don`t care who they blow up - man, women or children.
When they realise this and start to inform on these animals then maybe their country can start to pull itself together.
But until that happens, in one word for the kids.
Tough.

Answer 6

Human life in the Middle East carries very little real value. This goes against every western value but it is true. The children in those hospitals are only valuable to their parents if even there. If the children are orphans, then the Middel eastern attitude toward them is that they have no value at all and are really just a burden.

This is my view, gained by experience in the region.

Answer 7

well why dont you blame the mad muslim leaders condoning attacks on hospitals and children in iraq. you really need to look at all sides in volved as we already donate large amounts of money as well as the USA our troops are there to protrct the normal irqui but it is hard when part of the population want to kill there own. YOU need to grow up and get an unbiased view of the world as liberalisim is as crazy as organised religion.

Answer 8

Good question but why are thousands of people dying in Africa because of poverty?

And what has this got to do with Tony Blair?

Answer 9

The big question is what about the kids right here in the good ole USA that are dying because they aint got no insurance and their parents cant afford health care for them. I feel for them little bastards gonna grow up and be terrorist like dad sobs but hell we gotta take care of our own first

Answer 10

Because two evil men took it upon themselves to invade Iraq and now we are seeing the outcome of it, Disgraceful isn't it.
