'Limited But Persuasive' Evidence - Syria, Sarin, Libya, LiesMedia LensLast month, a ComRes poll supported by Media Lens interviewed 2,021 British adults, asking: 'How many Iraqis, both combatants and civilians, do you think have died as a consequence of the war that began in Iraq in 2003?' An astonishing 44% of respondents estimated that less than 5,000 Iraqis had died since 2003. 59% believed that fewer than 10,000 had died. Just 2% put the toll in excess of one million, the likely correct estimate. In October 2006, just three years into the war, the Lancet medical journal reported 'about 655,000 Iraqis have died above the number that would be expected in a non-conflict situation, which is equivalent to about 2.5% of the population in the study area'.

The Hamilton Coalition To Stop The War (HCSW) announces that it will hold an informational picket at the Federal Building, 55 Bay Street North, from 10:30 to noon on Labour Day, Monday, September 2, 2013, to send a message to the Harper government of Canada that it should not participate in any US-led military attack on Syria. Rather, it should insist on a thorough investigation by UN weapons inspectors of the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government. Our main slogan will be “Harper: Hands Off Syria!”

Canadians would be well advised to treat with great skepticism the calls from the mainstream media for intervention in Syria. Its record is abysmal. I refer to "Gas attacks demand strong consequences," an excerpt of a New York Times editorial that was published on The Spectator's Aug. 24, Opinion page.
