Hypocrisy in the wake of "Charlie Hebdo"

I wonder if those who are sounding off interminably about the Charlie Hebdo assault remember the Gulf War of January-March 1991, in which France participated. Or France's recent intervention in Mali. While I deplore the use of murderous thug tactics employed against cartoonists, the western world ought to keep in mind that US warplanes over Iraq bombed a non-combatant Muslim civilian population for 43 days straight. As many as 250,000 Iraqis were killed. Ah, but that was just a preview. According to reputable sources, anywhere from half a million to a million Iraqi kids died as a result of the sadistic sanctions imposed by Bush the first, and steadfastly maintained by the Clinton administration. All that death and destruction was followed by the Iraq War, beginning in 2003. The Iraq War resulted in at least a million more Iraqi dead, victims of a criminal, US-led aggression that had no moral justification. I'm certainly not seeking to justify acts of terror, but let's at least try to keep the real kill ratio in mind, as it's extremely lopsided! http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-charlie-hebdo-rally-media-distortions-and-hypocrisy-in-paris/5424180
