The Doctor, the Depleted Uranium, and the Dying Children

An award winning documentary film produced for German television by Freider Wagner and Valentin Thurn. The film exposes the use and impact of radioactive weapons during the current war against Iraq. The story is told by citizens of many nations. It opens with comments by two British veterans, Kenny Duncan and Jenny Moore, describing their exposure to radioactive, so-called depleted uranium (DU), weapons and the congenital abnormalities of their children. Dr. Siegwart-Horst Gunther, a former colleague of Albert Schweitzer, and Tedd Weyman of the Uranium Medical Research Center (UMRC) traveled to Iraq, from Germany and Canada respectively, to assess uranium contamination in Iraq.

I can't beleive no body has left a comment on this topic.

This issue appers to be swept under the carpet. The Truth needs no defence - and it will come out - history has shown this time an time again.

The silly thing is lives have been threatened of these brave doctors - the Davids who are challenging Goliath. All of you who debate the combat effectiveness of weapons should really see this video - the impact it has on ordinary lives. It reminds me of a verse in an old song by The Queen, ''If there is a god sky - what can he be thinking of the world he created''

It's a sad world that we live in when it's cheaper to shoot DU into an "Enemy" country than pay to store it in your own. YAY NUCLEAR ENERGY!

It's funny that the reason we invaded Iraq was because they had WMDs (as yet to be confirmed). Then we do one better and actually cause radiation poisoning through the use of DU shells.

You guys do realize that most of the symptoms that are from the "radiation" that people have claimed are from DU are quite normal symptoms of heavy metal poisoning, which can be caused either by the DU or the lead rounds?

Also, while talking about facts, you do realize that DU is so non-radio active that it is being used in hospitals now as radiation shielding around the Xray labs instead of lead because it is more effective at blocking radiation with it's greater density?

If DU is doing anything to children and soldiers it is in the form of heavy metal poisoning, not radiation poisoning, and we need to be conserned about that, however we can't fix that until we realize that it is HMP related not radiation related. DU is barely above normal background radiation, about comparable to taking an airline flight.

That is because it has already been done to death on this site alone. A simple search would have revealed that we beat this topic to death a long time ago. Folks who post articles like this are just fishing for more points. I am sad to say that I have to give them points in order to get my point across.

very sad indeed. Iraq is being used as a guinne pig for US weapons test it would seem. Imagine if instead of wasting billions on weapons to kill, just how much brighter the future of this world would be?

My thread on the topic...way back awhile.
