"The latest study found that in Fallujah, more than half of all babies surveyed were born with a birth defect between 2007 and 2010. Before the siege, this figure was more like one in 10. Prior to the turn of the millennium, fewer than 2 per cent of babies were born with a defect."

Over half of babies born in Fallujah are born with birth defects! This is an absolutely horrific fact. Where are all those who prattle on about "the right to life"? And bear this in mind: The pollution that causes this human disaster will spread all around the world. Although not as concentrated, it will have the same results world wide. As we know, Iraq and Afghanistan are not the last in such wars.


End capitalism before it ends us!
