> • The Web site Zmag.org, quoting British reports, says that
> the United States has used napalm in Fallujah. The U.S. has
> admitted using napalm during the siege of Baghdad.
>
> • The International Tribune and TomPaine.com, among others,
> have reported that the British medical journal Lancet
> recently estimated the number of deaths in Iraq may be as
> high as 100,000. The authors of the study are 90 percent
> certain that at least 40,000 Iraqis have died. To my
> knowledge, neither the Pentagon nor the administration has
> disputed the study. If Lancet's 100,000 estimate is correct,
> that means that in 21 months, the Bush-inspired war has
> killed one-third as many Iraqis as Saddam Hussein allegedly
> did in 30 years. If the war drags on for another 40 or 45
> months, George W. Bush can claim to be as big a killer as
> “the evil one” in about 27 fewer years.
>
> • The Nov. 21 Washington Post (on line) reported that
> malnutrition among Iraqi children has increased from 4.4
> percent to 7.7 percent since the U.S.-led invasion. About
> 400,000 Iraqi children are suffering from “wasting,” a
> condition of chronic diarrhea and deficiency of protein.
>
> • The Sunday Herald and other papers (not many in the U.S.)
> reported that U.S. and British forces have used depleted
> uranium (DU) in Iraq. The UN classifies DU as a weapon of
> mass destruction and causes cancers and can lead to birth
> defects.
>
> Those are the result of the actions by President Bush, whom
> many claim they voted for because of “moral values.” If
> someone wants to try to explain to me what is moral about
> that, I'm willing to listen.
