War Crimes

Using depleted uranium shells is wrong

OK, everyone ... why not try Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz at the World Court in The Hague for impeachable offenses and crimes against humanity? The main charge, of course, could be the undeniable use of depleted uranium (DU) in all munitions above 20mm cannon shells. The "supposed evidence" could be presented in absentia and determined by the Supreme War Crimes Tribunal of the World once and for all. Let us all work to search for the truth and reality in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq once and for all.

If the war-crime charge of using DU is accurate, our soldiers, U.S. mercenaries and all Iraqi people are doomed. We are killing our own troops with cancer of the lungs by breathing in the uranium isotopes attached to fine dust particles when the DU rounds are exploded.

Be careful, you people who are against this war and are speaking out. You can be arrested under the newest Patriot Act provisions. And think about some of your favorite candidates for president. My favorite is Dennis Kucinich. Bless him and all the Veterans for Peace that have pledged non-violence. I learned enough about violence on my one tour in Korea — 1953-1954 was my police action experience. Tell Bush to send his daughters and I at least will respect his part of his participation in life. And then advocate for the lottery in compulsory service and demand rich as well as poor, male as well as female. That should promote world peace forever.
