[Peace] Fwd:[ANSWER]: Answering Bush's War Propaganda on Iraq (2 of

[jencart]

--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. has the largest nuclear arsenal--more than 6,000  nuclear missiles and bombs. It has spent $4 trillion on 
nuclear weapons since 1945. When it had a monopoly on 
these weapons it did not hesitate to use them against 
civilian centers--up to 200,000 civilians were instantly 
incinerated in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

Bush is spending hundreds of billions on militarizing 
outer space. The recently-released Pentagon military 
doctrine includes a declaration of its right to first use 
of nuclear weapons against Iraq, north Korea, Iran, China  and Russia. The U.S. has Trident submarines and U.S. 
aircraft carriers carrying nuclear weapons 24 hours a day  as the imperial fleet roams the seven seas.

The U.S. government used chemical weapons in Vietnam,  spraying Agent Orange over vast parts of that country.  Thousands of U.S. GIs and an unknown number of Vietnamese  people died, or live difficult and painful lives from the 
after-effects.

Today, the U.S. government manufactures chemical and  biological weapons, a fact that was routinely denied and 
only admitted after the anthrax attacks of 2001.

And the U.S. government--led by both Democrats and 
Republicans--has knowingly and deliberately killed more 
than 1 million Iraqi civilians through the quieter, less 
dramatic weapon known as economic sanctions. This weapon  that has killed 5,000 children every month for 12 years 
must be regarded as a weapon of mass destruction.

It's time for anti-war activists to begin going to U.S. 
military bases and demanding to see if they have weapons  of mass destruction on their premises, including chemical,  biological and nuclear weapons, and depleted uranium.
