How Many Kids Will Bush America Kill In 2008?

"Rosa Luxemburg posed the problem in terms of 'socialism or barbarism.' Slightly more than eight decades after Luxemburg's death, barbarism threatens humanity's very existence."
How Many Kids Will Bush America Kill In 2008?  
By Dr
Gideon Polya
 What can decent people do to counter this horrendous Bush American 
 barbarism in 2008? Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is 
 complicity. Decent folk must (a) inform others and (b) act ethically

by applying Sanctions and Boycotts in relation to all their avoidable

dealings with individuals, corporations and countries complicit in this

continuing mass pedocide, this continuing, remorseless Bush-ite mass murder

of innocent children.

Plenty of links there (Crikey, looks like my 'made popular' ratio on Digg could be going up with this one) to International Law, Geneva Convention & UN Charter etc, but there are plenty of ways around the law:

Written evidence submitted by Gisha: Legal Center for Freedom of Movement 26/02/07
RE: GLOBAL SECURITY, MENA—ISRAEL'S CLAIM THAT GAZA IS NO LONGER OCCUPIED
1. On the occasion of the Committee's inquiry into Global Security, Middle East, we wish to update you on a position by the Israeli government that it no longer occupies Gaza and no longer bears responsibility for the welfare of Gaza residents. As an NGO concerned with the human rights of Palestinian residents, we ask that you raise the issue of Israel's occupation of Gaza in your reports, with a recommendation to take measures to assure compliance with international humanitarian law, especially the Fourth Geneva Convention, to which the UK is a party.
ISRAEL CLAIMS THAT IT DOES NOT OCCUPY GAZA AND OWES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WELFARE OF GAZANS
13. We respectfully request that you investigate this issue and take appropriate measures. In particular, we encourage you to request that Government representatives make inquiries among their Israeli interlocutors regarding the status of Gaza and call upon Israel to respect its obligations under international humanitarian law.
14. I respectfully refer you to Gisha's position paper, Disengaged Occupiers: The Legal Status of Gaza, available at our web site, http://www.gisha.org or at the link: http://www.gisha.org/english/reports/Report_for_the_website.pdf
