There is
a legacy for the Iraqi people, a legacy left to them by the
“Coalition of the Willing”, a legacy that will be handed down
from generation to generation. It is a legacy that has stolen their
future and shattered the dreams of generations yet to come. Depleted
Uranium (DU) type weaponry, was widely used in Iraq with devastating
effects. There are over 350 sites in Iraq contaminated with DU,
though the explosions have long since gone silent, the after effects
of the contamination will linger for generations. Birth deformities
have increased more than ten fold in some areas, cancers are in
epidemic proportions. The figure for 2007 was 140,000 cases of cancer
and 7,000 to 8,000 new cases reported each year. On viewing
photographs of some of the deformities in these children it is hard
to believe that the perpetrators are still walking free. What was the
cause that was worth this sort of hell on earth for so many.
Mid-wives in Iraq are purported to have said
they no longer look forward to births as.... "We don't know
what's going to come out." Is this “liberation”
Western style?
It
is not as if the US and its “Coalition of the Willing” didn't
know what were the effects of DU, its effects were well documented and
discussed. A quote from "-
Lt. Col. M.V. Ziehmn, Los Alamos National Laboratory memorandum,March 1st 1991 states, ”There
has been and continues to be a concern regarding the impact of DU on
the environment. Therefore, if no-one makes a case for the
effectiveness of DU on the battlefield, DU rounds may become
politically unacceptable and thus be deleted from the arsenal. I
believe we should keep this sensitive issue in mind when action
reports are written."
Then there is Fallujha, but then, that's another horror story the Iraqis have to pay for their "Liberation".

...I
suddenly had a flashback. A dream I had about 6 months prior to the
second Gulf War.
I
dreamt of a young Iraqi boy, being held by two american GI's and
uplifted to be crucified on a cross.
They
nailed him to the cross and walked away.
I
woke up choking. I said to myself, they tortured the children of Iraq
now they will crucify them.
The
boy is now resurrected and is guiding my pen.
He
is asking me to draw him crucified on a old rotting wooden cross.
He
tells me that he wants the background to be filled with a half
million skeletons of dead babies with Ms.Albright smiling on top of
them.
He
is asking me to draw newborns with grosteque deformities due to
depleted uranium.
He
is urging me not to forget the starving looking babies due to
malnutrition.
He
is making sure I paint the children who have cancer because of
american chemical weapons, queuing up in desolate hospitals.
And
he has not forgotten the children who survived in tattered clothes
with their tattered textbooks walking barefoot to school.
Oh
wait, he is also telling me to draw in the corner, a picture of the
orphanage bombed during the war of liberation and he is making sure
that I show the kids running in the streets desperate with nowhere to
go — some kidnapped, some sold whilst others raped.
I
asked him if he wanted me to add anything.
He
said the picture is almost complete.
"What
shall I call it?" I asked.
He
replied:
"The
World as I see it".
