    From what I remember seeing on TV they were saying that it wasn't so much DU dust but rather that rubble from the aftermath of the attacks had been bulldozed into the river, which is an important water supply in the area.

    Well the investigations are still ongoing, but the abnormal rise of birthdefects are normally associated with radiation. Im sure we havent heard the last from this.

    I just saw the bbc report. Children are being born handicapped... I am lost for words... There is no bigger crime than harming one's children. Disgusting!

    It may seem strange I will quote Machiavelli right now for I think he had caught the nature of war "War creates criminals, peace hangs them" War is a kind of legalising murder and it is not a random fact many of those participating in war are mentally handicapped (in a way) forever. Being a hero is just a propaganda, you are in fact a victim.

    A man blamed to be a cynic caught the nature of the war but still there are so many "idealists" who did not, ironic isn't it?
