Poor Kid <3
Iraqi doctors are making renewed efforts to bring to the world’s attention the growth in birth deformities and cancer rates among the country’s children. The medical crisis is being directly blamed on the widespread use of depleted uranium (DU) munitions by the US and British forces in southern Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War, and the even greater use of DU during the 2003 invasion. However, the Iraqis are not the only targets. DU is not selective, and Coalition forces are under its spell as well. Veterans have been reporting various illnesses, which Pentagon and the govt try to supress. From the first link: In August 2004, the VA reported that over 518,739 Persian Gulf veterans were on medical disability since 1991. If my memory serves me right, since the first Gulf war, about 10k young Gulf veterans died. |

Re: Poor Kid <3
Oh gods... this picture reminds me of a sunburn I had when I was 9 (if my memory is correct), which made the area just below my eyes swollen and pink. I remember staying home all the time (crying in my room now and then) and wearing huge sunglasses on a trip to the doctor's office to have it checked out and some ointment prescribed (which is still stowed away somewhere at my parents' house). Ah, the joys of forgetting to put sunscreen on your face. ![]() |
