We must speak against all war - and especially the Iraq War.
We must speak against all war and especially against War where innocent people are killed. We seem to have forgotten Nagasaki and Hiroshima. We seem to forget the other senseless wars. Wars bring more harm - butsome profit from war. These evil folks - encourage War to fill their private coffers. The Iraq War is one great example - every month billions are wasted - money that we could use for peace and to uplift the population of the United States of America.
We remember the bombing of Nagasaki and how one Atomic Bomb instantly killed 20,000 people.
Over the years over 70,000 died. Thousands still bear the scars. There is Karma.
Even as we remember the dirty deed some 63 years ago. The bombing of Nagasaki - the "Fat Boy" - the Atomic Bomb assembled at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco.
The Iraq War too has had millions of casualties - thousands of innocent Iraqis live in Syria, in Jordon, in slums. Forced to leave Iraq.
Thousands of Christians who lived in Iraq - for thousands of years - today are killed and in past years thousands have been killed. Thousand others have fled.
Here in the United States - many have no clue what is happening in Iraq.
The lies told by the Main Media are astonishing - perhaps the worst damage caused in recent years - is from the lack of investigative reporting - linked to the Main Media.
A few journalist have done a good job - but it is difficult to read their works.
Depleted Uranium used in Iraq has taken a heavy toll of innocent folks. The most adversely impacted - young children.
Depleted Uranium can kill instantly but it can also kill one slowly:

Francisco,
You claim to have been someone at 6th Army - what happened to make you a shill for liars who like to make money off of lying about depleted uranium. DU has nothing to do with Hiroshima and Nagasaki and there probably are a lot of people in the Bay Area who owe their lives to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Know anyone born in 1946, 47, maybe even 48? Had the US have had to invade Japan, at very least, their fathers would not have been home yet, and at worst, they would have been killed or severely wounded. My Dad was preparing for 1 million casualties on Okinawa when the bomb was dropped. My wife's had been returned from Europe and was being retrained from Ship's Carpenter (in the Army believe it or not) as Infantry to go to the Pacific.
You also have been mislead about DU - it has not caused any health problems in Iraq and probably none in US troops as well. The lies began with Saddam's regime wanting out from under the sanctions 15 years ago and people like you are still regurgitating them on the net. Why is that? Were the lies that powerful? Or is it that they fell on fertile ground among the scientifically ignorant. Do you know how much natural uranium is in your own backyard? Do you know that natural uranium is in every living thing on earth? Do you know that DU is one of the isotopes of natural uranium, U238, just in a purer isotopic form and pure metal and not uranium plus all of its decay products? Do you know that coal fired power plants emit natural uranium from their smokestacks? Why aren't they looking for grave diseases downwind of the 4-Corners power plants? Maybe because 100 years of research has shown that uranium does not cause disease.
