Fallujah
I do my best to avoid posting links to Trotskyites and the like. Not because it only encourages them {given that they’ve put up with everyone else ignoring them I doubt they’ll mind me doing the same} but because political extremists are so easy to ignore.
When they pick up on stuff that other’s won’t, though, it has to be done.
That the amount of birth defects have increased hardly surprises me. I recall going to see a play and meeting a chap who had been briefly exposed to “Spent” uranium during his service in the British Army in the first Gulf War. He later discovered, many years later, that the quantity of radiation in his blood was a few hundred times over that which would be safe. That his health was crippled as a consequence is perhaps surprising only in that he managed to stay alive. Now imagine the consequences for those residing in civilian areas struck by these substances. Imagine people who are not briefly in contact but return to their homes in areas hit by this stuff.
There has been copious evidence collected demonstrating the deleterious of these substances, but both the US and UK exempted themselves from any negative effects when writing up the laws concerning such matters.
Or perhaps it was the white phosperous.
Either way, we can but hope that the unhappy city of Fallujah is freed soon from the ill health and oppression that presently blight it and that the tyrants who struck it are tried as the war criminals that they are unquestionably are. Any apologist for this atrocity is either ignorant or an intellectual coward and callous whelp of the highest order.
