America's use of DU is stirring up hatred by Carol Wolman, MD

Afghan DU Recovery Fund
"When I saw my little boy with those monstrous red tumors, I thought to myself, why is it difficult for Americans to understand that they are hated in our country. If I do this to the child of an American family, that family has the right to pull my eyes out of my eye sockets. I like to tell the Americans that they love to live their lives of luxury at the expense of our extermination" [earthrainbownetwork] The Empire of Darkness Series #22 (PART 1): Megatons of Manure
 
In the last 4 years, the United States under Bush has committed terrible war crimes and atrocities.  The depleted uranium story has not gotten much attention, since the Pentagon denies its harmfulness.  Even the respected organization Physicians for Social Responsibility will not campaign actively against its use.  But the heartrending abortions, stillbirths and childhood cancers in Iraq and Afghanistan caused by this radioactive agent is hardening the hearts of the world against Americans, even more than the leveling of Fallujah or the Abu Ghraib tortures.
 
We are inviting terrible retribution.  Might we yet repent?  Now that the Democratic Party is headed by a physician, might we not yet change our ways and stop using this horrible slow nuclear weapon, do what we can to clean up the mess, and make some sort of reparation to the Afghanis, the Iraqis, and our own veterans?
 
Jonah 3
8 yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.    9Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?    10And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
 
In the name of the Prince of Peace,  Carol Wolman
