Horrors of war: US, UK munitions ‘cause birth defects in Iraq’ Leuren Moret documented this for many years. I regularly informed my students of the dangers of depleted uranium 238. I told them I was not advocating that they withdraw from JROTC, but they sure had better get radiological baseline data before going overseas, or they would be out of luck when they returned and had deformed babies from inhaling the dust from the armor piercing shells loaded with depleted uranium. Sadly,we in this country will also see an increase in birth defects, but guaranteed there will be no hard data linking it to soldiers overseas getting dosed.

Re: the articles cited, it is ironic, and certainly a contradiction that the EU, which has been engaged in sanctions against Iran and Syria- i.e. a financial act of war- and where the EU members are almost the same as those of NATO, should have received the Nobel Peace (“Piç”) Prize. (Am I correct that in Turkish, “piç” could mean that the prize has been ‘bastardized’)
As for Peres, who was the point man for developing Israel’s nuclear program (and likely intimately involved in the theft of nuclear secrets and nuclear material from the U.S.), as well as many more human rights violations against the Palestinians than can be easily listed, asking Brazil to boycott Iran is ludicrous. Maybe Brazil will call him on it and make their purchases elsewhere.
