Ein weiterer Aspekt, was die USA unter US-Präsident Bush unter
"Demokratisierung" verstehen: Die Iraker sollen die Rolle spielen,
welche die Planer der US-Politik ihnen zugedacht haben: Rechtlose
Spielfiguren, die sich den neuen Herrenmenschen im Irak nicht in den
Weg stellen sollen.
Selbst Mord zieht oft keine Strafe nach sich. Solange man auf der
Seite der Invasoren und Plünderer in US-Uniformen steht:

U.S. soldiers get off easy for crimes against Iraqis, review finds
"BAGHDAD — Eight-year-old Rudenah al-Hillali cried as the two
American soldiers led her father into their apartment with a rifle
barrel at his back and forced the family to stand in a corner at
gunpoint.
"She was scared," said her father, Issam Abdul Jabbar al-Hillali,
adding that the soldiers refused to let him give Rudenah water (...)
Al-Hillali said Army Pfc. John N. Lee and Spec. Timothy I. Barron
claimed to be Marines searching for weapons. But once inside his
house, he said, they used a knife to pry open a briefcase filled with
money and eventually stole $2,000 in cash, silver and other
valuables.
Although Army officials found some of the missing items in the
soldiers' possession and they admitted to robbing houses under the
guise of looking for illegal weapons, the Army dismissed the charges
(...)
Using previously undisclosed Army records, the Dayton (Ohio) Daily
News found that dozens of soldiers have been accused of crimes
against Iraqis since the first troops deployed for Iraq. But despite
strong evidence and convictions in some cases, only a small
percentage resulted in punishments nearing those that civilian
justice systems routinely impose for such crimes (...)
An Army investigation found probable cause to believe that an Army
specialist committed voluntary manslaughter when he "intentionally
shot and killed" Malik Ghafel Mattar as the Iraqi teenager stole a
box of military food rations in June 2003.
Military personnel have been giving the same rations to Iraqis, and
Mattar was among children standing alongside the road waiting for
candy and food from soldiers, Army records show.
A soldier riding in a vehicle directly behind the shooting scene told
investigators that he didn't see any Iraqis throwing rocks or other
objects and that he never felt threatened.
"Most were waving as they usually do," the soldier told
investigators.
Army records show that the military convoy didn't stop to render aid
to Mattar or to report the shooting.
An Army investigator's report says the accused soldier was surprised
that the incident was under criminal investigation.
"He seemed to be under the impression no one would care that he shot
an Iraqi," the investigator wrote.
The investigation was stopped after a commander decided to take no
action against the soldier, and Army records show the soldier's
punishment was to be "counseled" by a commander.
