'55 most wanted' playing cards aim for U.S. regime change

In the wake of the U.S.'s "pre-emptive" destruction of Iraq, her people, and her culture, the Trade Regulation Organization is issuing a "55 most wanted" playing-card deck (http://gatt.org/regime/) similar to the one that the Pentagon issued two weeks ago in Iraq (http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Apr2003/pipc10042003.html).

The TRO, estimating that the U.S. governing regime is no longer
consistent with world peace or prosperity, hopes that the playing
cards will show the way to regime change and, eventually, large-scale
war crimes proceedings.

According to the TRO, the victims of the unprovoked U.S. war fall into
three categories (see http://gatt.org/regime/ for sources):

* People. In the 1991 Gulf War, up to 200,000 civilians and up to
150,000 soldiers were killed by ordinary bombs or their effects on
infrastructure.
In addition, poisoning from the U.S.'s depleted uranium (DU)
weapons - banned by the Geneva Convention - has led to hundreds of
thousands more Iraqi cancers and deaths; the 80,000 cases of "Gulf War
syndrome" among U.S. veterans are most likely also due to DU exposure.
In the 2003 Iraq War, the U.S. once again used massive amounts of
DU in its weapons. Iraqi death counts are unknown or unpublicized.

* Culture. Because of a U.S. policy giving carte blanche to looters -
only the Oil Ministry and Interior Ministry were protected - the
Middle East's leading archaeological museum lost almost all of its
unique ancient artifacts, and two libraries full of irreplaceable
medieval manuscripts were destroyed.

* Prospects. The U.S. is now considered the primary world criminal by
the vast majority of the world's citizens. The implications for the
U.S.'s long-term prospects are grim.

Many of those featured on the "55 most wanted" cards are in government,
and removing these people from power will go a long way towards making
the world a safer place.

Others include corporate CEOs; in those cases, the corporations
themselves must be dissolved or otherwise rendered incapable of
further harm.

"If one day the people on these cards are indeed brought to justice,
'just following orders' or 'supporting our troops' will be no excuse
for the rest of us," said TRO spokeswoman Hedwig Ixtabal-Mono.


The Trade Regulation Organization, committed to making trade benefit
poor people, is the World Trade Organization's successor; see

Those people who came up with this Most Wanted List are totally nuts. They are radicals from the far-out left field of world politics and just don't get it. There is another group that doesn't live in the REAL WORLD that they should consider joining - The Flat Earth Society of London.
