Subject: Re: Depleted Uranium
 
I'm all for research and development of alternatives to du ordnance, but
until such alternatives are indeed developed, I'm all for using the best
weapon in the arsenal.  If there are such alternatives, I haven't seen
them suggested here.  But what truly befuddles me are the concerns
expressed over stochastically determined injury when we are dealing with
real murders, real rapes, real forcible evictions.  Frankly, I find
discussions regarding the environmental consequences of war silly.  Bombs
and missiles, and rockets, and grenades and bullets and mines kill and
destroy and maim.  Let's talk instead about stopping the killing and
destruction and the maiming.
