   The story speaks for itself; humanity at it’s worse. There is a saying “the worse enemy to ourselves is ourselves”. Reply | Quote selected text | Link to this

   A simple rule/law of Nature that corrupt governments disregard is ‘what goes around comes around’. Do they honestly think they can get away with it. They might think so, but Life does not forget. Reply | Quote selected text | Link to this

   Iraq and the rest of the world always have been radioactive, and will remain so in the future. DU was concentrated from natural resources, and some has now been dispersed back into the environment. It does pose a significant health risk if inhaled in quantity, such as victims who narrowly escape death from the direct action of DU shells (during the initial invasion). In the mostly low concentrations that it now exists in the environment the risks are very low. There are far more pressing humanitarian issues for the people of Iraq (suicide bombers, sectarian violence, kidnapping, poverty, low quality of life, road accidents…). Where does the 2000 ton figure come from? Why not extrapolate to 20 million deaths - because very little of the 50 tons will ever be inhaled. DU munitions are not illegal - and the UN has not ruled so. No doubt I’ll be accused of being in the pay of the CIA, or some other baseless nonsense. DU is a major propaganda issue, propagated by well intentioned but misguided peace activists. Sadly this only achieves only further mistrust and violence. Do not doubt that the self-proclaimed experts on DU have vested interests in their cause. Reply | Quote selected text | Link to this

    And every time the wind blows, those nano sized particles of DU are on the move. 1000 miles around Kabul and Baghdad are contaminated, for ever. The number of humans affected from Tel Aviv to Delhi is 100,000,000 and counting. There is no known antidote to Uranium Poisoning and no protective clothing to prevent contact with the human body which will penetrate via inhalation or skin contact. These nano-sized particles can and do penetrate all known protective clothing and masks. One Alpha Particle of DU carries destruction to each and every cell in comes in contact with. There is no safe,healthy way to employ humans in the tasks of oil drilling and transporting from South Asia. This begs the question: What the hell are we doing there? Bringing our brand of “democracy” is a death sentence to every man, women and child in the Cradle of Civilization. Reply | Quote selected text | Link to this

    Very Good understanding of the problem bro, but it is even worse than that. The prevailing wind is such that from time to time about 3 times per year the said dust is taken into the Troposphere then dropped on Europe and the west cost of America too. Reply | Quote selected text | Link to this
