Independent- So there was Samantha Power doing her shame bit in the UN. Is there no act of barbarism against civilians, no execution of a child that gets under your skin, that just creeps you out a little bit?, Americas ambassador to the UN asked the Russians and Syrians and Iranians. She spoke of Halabja, Rwanda, Srebrenica and, now, Aleppo.

Odd, that. For when Samantha talked about barbarism against civilians in Aleppo, I remembered climbing over the dead Palestinian civilians massacred at the Sabra and Chatila refugee camps in Beirut in 1982, slaughtered by Israels Lebanese militia friends while the Israeli army Washingtons most powerful ally in the Middle East watched. But Samantha didnt mention them. Not enough dead Palestinians, perhaps? Only 1,700 killed, including women and children. Halabja was up to 5,000 dead. But Sabra and Chatila certainly creeped me out at the time.

And then I recalled the monstrous American invasion of Iraq. Perhaps half a million dead. Its one of the statistics for Rwandas dead. Certainly far more than Srebrenicas 9,000 dead. And I can tell you that Iraqs half million dead creeped me out rather a lot, not to mention the torture and murders in the CIAs interrogation centres in Afghanistan as well as in Iraq. It also creeped me out to learn that the US president used to send innocent prisoners off to be interrogated in... Assads Syria! Yes, they were sent by Washington to be questioned in what Samantha now calls Syrias Gulags.
