		<description>The depleted uranium is not really really dangerous, until it blows up.  With weapons, blowing up is sort of the point.  When this happens a sphere around where this happened is contaminated.

In other words these devices deliver radioactive contamination when they are used as indended.  That&#039;s poison.

That is willful nuclear contamination, and against the Geneva conventions covering the laws of war.  In America, these conventions have legal authority granted directly from the Constitution of the United States.  Despite what you may see on FOX&#039;s &#039;Over There&#039; you don&#039;t need a name, rank, and serial number to be covered by the rules of war, since these rules govern our own behavior, how we treat people when we haven&#039;t killed them.

These rules say that when you spread poison over an area, like a &#039;dirty bomb,&#039; that&#039;s foul.  Now you may feel that it&#039;s okay to poison the area as we depopulate it but let&#039;s at least know what is going on and then agree or disagree on if it is right or wrong.

At least that way, we will both know what is going on, even if we don&#039;t agree.

You might feel that we&#039;ve just got to get rid of this nuclear waste and shooting it at Iraqis is better for us than burying it in Nevada.

Directly causing human birth defects and lifelong suffering for hundreds of years into the future.  No big deal.

At least be up front about it.

When one of these rounds explodes or is shot at something and hits it or misses it and hits something else the uranium vaporizes in an incredibly high energy reaction.  This contaminates everything around where this happens.  

As a point of fact this type of contamination is generally accepted as the most likely cause of Gulf War Syndrome, which affects our own troops in a serious way long after they have been removed from the contaminated area.

We don&#039;t even talk about the people who are still living there, and the effects on them.  But they are suffering and you and I and the people in our government are responsible.

If these bullets hit something like a well in a neighborhood, for example, then everyone living in that neighborhood will be affected for generations, long after everyone that you and I both know have passed.

Do we have the right to do this?

I think that we should stop doing it.</description>

		<description>So OK; the military makes tank armor and ammo out of DU, and then turns around and says that anyone who comes within *25 meters* of &quot;DU-contaminated equipment&quot; wear resperatory and skin protection.

The hey? Is there some definition of &quot;contaminated with&quot; that doesn&#039;t include &quot;made of&quot;? Or are soldiers expected to wear hazmat suits at all times while in their tanks? Or is the Pentagon just being nuts again? Wait, don&#039;t answer that; I think I can guess.</description>

		<description>Check this site out if you want to see what this stuff does to innocent children. People wondered why the Germans never did anything, history will ask the same question of us.
