thick armor to ignite the DU, and the uranium oxide dust thus produced is 
toxic if breathed in sufficient quantity.

God bless America,
Land that I love!
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
 From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam�
God bless America!
My home, sweet home.

-- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
