ARE AMERICA AND NATO REPLACING THE UN? Motsoko Pheko
America and Britain invaded Iraq in 2003 by spreading false propaganda that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction such as chemical and nuclear weapons and murdered Saddam Hussein through this fraudulently fabricated “crime.” 2013 is the 10th anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq by Britain and America. It is reported that 2.7 million Iraqis – women, children and men - have been killed. America alone lost over three thousand soldiers. Many of the American soldiers sent to die in a war that had nothing to do with their interests were African-Americans.
At that time the United Nations sent its scientists to Iraq. They found no weapons of mass destruction there. Tony Blair of Britain and George Bush of the United States nevertheless went ahead and illegally aggressed against Iraq.

The United States has not even signed the Rome Statute that created the ICC, but it is very vocal about non- American-NATO leaders being brought before this court to answer for their crimes against humanity.
In Britain Tony Blair’s Party lost the last elections because the British electorate considered him as having lied to them about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. David Cameron of the Conservative Party won the last British elections. Recently, he tried to involve Britain in the controversial use of chemical weapons in Syria. He failed to convince the British Parliament. France has also had a split in Parliament on the issue of who used “chemical weapons” in Syria. Sixty four percent of the French people have been reported as opposed to the military attack by America.
Cameron was keen to see atrocities punished in Syria, but not those Britain committed in her colonies such as Rhodesia, South Africa and Kenya. Over 5000 Kenyans have recently been awarded reparations by a British High Court for atrocities committed in Kenya by Britain on the freedom fighters of this African country which fought against British colonialism and imperialism in their country. They are the former Kenya Land and Freedom Army that the British colonial regime internationally discredited as “Mau Mau terrorists.” These African Freedom Fighters were led by Kenyan leaders such as Dedan Kimathi whom the British colonial regime sentenced to death for resisting British imperialism in their own African country. Some of the evidence heard in the British Court was that.. read more:
