Deformities in Falluja

White phosphorus... depleted uranium? Nobody has really known what would happen after white phosphorus and loads of depleted uranium built up in war zones. Perhaps there is an elephant in the room that nobody wants to mention...

Radiation and toxicity might have a large influence on birth defects in war zones. Right now 25 percent, that's one in four, babies are born with spinal cord abnormalities and tumors.

The very sad thing is... the most powerless and innocent are bearing the brunt of damage in war. It is women and infants.

We have a noble and committed fighting force and the men and women serving in the streets of Falluja are not the same ones arming weapons with depleted uranium. This is a systemic moral issue. Do we as Americans have a right to imbed radioactive, damaging substances into the land, air and water of other countries?
Does anyone? JL
