Are wars on the decline? - ABC Late Night Live program claims it is

I was appalled by the interview with Peter Hartcher and the utterly incorrect claim that very few people are being killed in wars today.

High technology wars kill few US Alliance soldiers these days. Thus icasualties reports that US Alliance deaths in Iraq (2003-2011) and Afghanistan (2001-2012) total 4,802 and 2,883, respectively. However ignored are the 50,000 US veterans who have committed suicide in the last decade (US VA) and the 200,000 Americans, 3,600 Australians, 18,000 British and 1.0 million people world-wide who have died opiate drug-related deaths since 2001 due to US Alliance restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry from 6% of world share in 2001 to over 90% today (for details see UNODC and "Afghan Holocaust, Afghan Genocide").

Indigenous violent deaths plus non-violent avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation now total 12 million for the neocon- and Zionist-backed, post-1990 US War on Muslims, the breakdown being 4.6 million (Iraq, 1990-2011), 2.2 million (Somalia, 1992-2012) and 5.6 million (Afghanistan, 2001-2012), noting that under-5 under-5 infant deaths in these war zones in these periods now total 2.0 million, 1.3 million and 2.9 million, respectively, 90% avoidable and due to US Alliance war crimes in gross violation of the Geneva Convention in relation to civilians (Google "Muslim Holocaust,Muslim Genocide" and see my book "Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950").
