Re: Depleted Uranium

Taking the argument in favor of depleted uranim weapons to its logical
extreme and you have a justification for nuclear weapons. The argument
below is similar to what the United States said was the reason for
dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Both then and now what
the United States is really trying to accomplish is global power by means
of terror. The war against Yugoslavia has nothing whatever to do with
savings Albanians. This is no more than a convenient lie.
