"Iraq is poisoned. Thirty-five million Iraqis wake up every morning
to a living nightmare of childhood cancers, adult cancers and birth defects.
Familial cancers, cluster cancers and multiple cancers in the same individual
have become frequent in Iraq. Sterility, repeated miscarriages, stillbirths and
severe birth defects - some never described in any medical books - are all
around, in increasing numbers. Trapped in this hellish nightmare, millions of
Iraqis struggle to survive, and they call for help." "MSNBC reported: "Between
2002 and 2005, US forces shot off 6 billion bullets in Iraq (something like
300,000 for every person killed). They also dropped 2,000 to 4,000 tonnes of
bombs on Iraqi cities, leaving behind a witch's brew of contaminants and toxic
metals, including the neurotoxins lead and mercury." " (thanks Amir)
