perspective on the issue of DU use and contamination of soldiers that I had
truly never before entertained. What do you think of this? Too harsh? Or is
the treatment of US soldiers befitting the crime of their use of radioactive
Depleted Uranium weapons of war suggested in this article only fair,
appropriate, and fitting?
In the Nuremberg trials, the outcome of the trials was the decision handed
down by the established court that not only nations but INDIVIDUALS are
responsible for war, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The responibility
is for the soldier to reject a superior's orders in these cases, as each
soldier is individually responsible for his/her own actions.
The UN considers the use of DU a violation of human rights. Weaponized
Uranium aerosols kill civilians indiscriminately and contaminate the
environment for billions of years. DU use is in direct violation of the human
rights resolutions which make them illegal under the UN human rights
Sub-Commission. http://prop1.org/2000/du/resource/000310un.htm

Making the Case to KEEP Troops in Iraq
Dominic Jermano
"This whole Iraq war is turning into something we have not expected and is
only going to get worse because we are neglecting a very critical thing and
that is DU. Depleted Uranium. You/ Progressives/ Democrats/ Americans want the
troops to come back to spread and contaminate the rest of us living here in the
USA?
Soldiers go back to the community, make love to their wives, girlfriends, and
settle back to watch them become ill and die? People have not really stopped
to think about what we are in for. We want to end the occupation and
symbolically bring the troops back, to contaminate North America?"....
"Fellow Americans need to know the truth that bringing US troops home is a
terrorist act, by infecting and contaminating our communities with DU soldiers.
The following is my letter to Brian Ross of ABC news......
Do you guys really do investigations? DO you know anything about DU Depleted
Uranium? Do you know how many tons were blasted into Iraq during the first
Kuwait invasion compared to the 2nd time? And don't forget Afghanistan. Did you
know that Gulf War Syndrome has been identified as DU? Do you have any idea how
many soldiers have died who served in the Kuwait campaign? I know these
figures. But do you? Are you going to tell the American people the truth about
DU or is it too hard for ABC to do?
Bush wants to bring back contaminated DU troops! If we bring back 160,000
troops who are definitely DU carriers back to society in America it will infect
and contaminate the rest of us here....isn't that really a TERRORIST ACT? I am
talking about some serious bad things happening to our country. The American
people should be made aware and consider that TROOPS should NOT come back for
the sake of the health of American citizens.
Do we want 160,000 or more deformed children, with women contracting the
contamination? And letfs not forget our gay men in uniform who could easily
spread this situation into the Gay community. We are talking about something
here that is worse than AIDS, because AIDS is treatable, but DU is not.
None of the News Corps say a word about DU. Why? This has got to be the
biggest story, since 911, since the invasion of Iraq, since Katrina, since the
Tsunami. Where are you guys? All Americans should get a clue, and get glued to
educating yourself about DU.
If I get DU I will kill myself. Ever wonder why so many US soldiers have
killed themselves? And I won't come into society to pass it on to my family;
probably the reason soldiers kill themselves. Itfs certainly the most
honorable thing they could ever do to protect America.
You think the military is going to take the time to test all Vets before they
return to the USA? And since DU is a time release poison, it appears when it is
good and ready. Everyonefs DNA is different, so some people die sooner than
others. Do the American people know the realities of DU coming into the USA?
The answer is NO.
Bush should leave the troops there, for the sake of all the dying Iraqis who
will die from DU, and to protect the American people from being contaminated by
160,000 DU troop carriers coming into the country. In my book bringing them
home is a Terrorist Act. Iraq should be quarantined, and leaflets distributed
telling the people they are dying from DU, and should stop fighting to help the
world body find a way to help Iraq, or the entire Iraq population will die from
this exposure. "
