The massive use of depleted uranium bombs (and cluster bombs) is a form of
genocide -- even long-term genocide, continuing and unstoppable.

...and at the hands of lawyers (Hitler, being an Austrian, had to be
nationalized under dubious circumstances first, to be able to become
German chancellor).

Nonsense.  Unlike Sweden and others, Switzerland was far from "selling
him whatever he needs."  And Chr�tien didn't stay out of Bush's wars,
even sending some troops for the coalition of the killing, although
Canada's situation is far less surrounded than CH in WW2.

US corporations have much interest in economic Anschluss and already
achieved much of it.
