Babies in Bassorah have had such a rise in birth defects for more than 20 years now. Nobody cared. http://images.blatantworld.com/image/graph_rate_of_birth_defects_per_1000_births_at_basra_university_hospital_iraq.html<br /><br />Besides, everybody ought to know that those damn weapons are radioactive too. Yes, U238 is twenty times less radioactive than U235, for the same mass. But when armies explode 2000 tons of U238 above a few cities, how could the end result be anything other than <b>radioactive cities</b> ?An European Viewpointnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-65747159100701855552013-03-24T03:32:09.812-08:002013-03-24T03:32:09.812-08:00http://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/7/7/2828

I was against the war from the very beginning as I thought about the innocent people who were going to die and all the young people in the military whose lives were going to be destroyed through death, being maimed, head injuries and PTSD! But I never imagined this would also be part of the suffering this would cause the Iraqi people. We have a lot to answer for as a nation and there are those who should pay for what it has done--mainly, Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld!

Even when he was president he didn't travel outside the U.S. until his last year in office when he was told he had to make some sort of effort to at least acknowledge the rest of the world. He was the most incurious president we have ever had.<br /><br />All he really wants is to be left alone and paint stupid pictures. He doesn't want to do anything. The first thing he did after he left the presidency was get rid of that ranch so he could stop pretending he was some kind of real Texan or something. He doesn't want to help with the GOP or any candidates. He doesn't want the work involved to appear on any kind of lecture circuit. The only thing he has done are stupid things - that "Motivational" seminar that tanked and that seminar at the time of the last election when he was in the Cayman Islands talking about how to protect your money off shore. You'd think he would be ashamed, but George has no shame.<br /><br />The guy is a loser. He was never anything more than a self-centered, entitled, drunken, lazy-ass frat boy, and this was all he ever really wanted in life. To have everything handed to him, do whatever he wants and be unaccountable to it; everyone kiss his ass and then just leave him alone. <br /><br />And we, and the rest of the world suffer because he wanted to play out his John Wayne fantasies. <br /><br />Loser.
