Make war a crime. Then that egregious part of the national budget, and the secret budgets generated by war departments world wide could convert their security/arms/drug profits into a healthier future for those whom they're supposed to serve.

If the following piece of news on cancer rates in Fallujah is only partially true, perhaps Pharma has been behind a lot of it after all. Radiation doesn't just stay local, but they sure have the masses fooled into thinking cancer needs costly research to be beaten. Any one who visits Iraq and their offspring will pay first, but the rest of us will absorb radiation slowly. Just like from all the testing in Nevada. It's common sense not to radiate, but as someone commented on the SBS website, depleted uranium armor piercing shells serve their function chiefly as an easier cost effective nuclear waste management strategy. Another commented that it's time to stop using the term "War in Iraq" and start using the term "Genocide in Iraq."

We cannot hope for a healthy future, teaming with jobs, while war on innocent individuals and environments continues to be acceptable. I really don't wish to get into morality discussions, but this is another elephant in the room that's being chiefly ignored on this list, and no conversation around values should overlook it. Another profitable industry ruining the present and the future, whose profits are used to buy votes, politicians and most importantly currency market investments.

     **FALLUJAH HAS HIGHER CANCER RATES THAN HIROSHIMA AFTER A BOMB
     ATTACK

     **

**SBS, Australia -* A report has been published indicating cancers and other diseases in the Iraqi city of Fallujah are significantly higher than those of the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs of 1945.

The survey found that in the five years following the 2004 attacks by USA-led forces there has been a four-fold increase in all cancer.

The types of cancer are similar to that in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors who were exposed to nuclear fallout.

Researchers found a 12 fold increase in child hood cancers since 2004.

"Far fewer boys were born than girls and this is a well known expression of genetic which was found after Hiroshima." Said report writer Dr Chris Busby.
