A few days ago, french and american invaders claimed that Irak was on the way to pacification: 2009 had much less casualties than the previous years. Apparently, it was nothing else than other lies; since the US-NATO forces do not even control Kabul's green zone. Why can the declare those wars illegal and take adequate sanctions against the invaders; then order the destruction of all pavot's fields.The 90% humans who are not US or NATO countries' citizen could perfectly well deceide to boycott those 10% troubles-makers and require that all global institutions move out of those nations' territories. Those wars and atrocities could be stopped if the BRIC, african, and South-American states had a little more courage and were not so scared of the great american ogre. .Sorry Future Generations ! Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin
