Fallujah Babies

"Official Iraqi government statistics show that, prior to the outbreak of the First Gulf War in 1991, the rate of cancer cases in Iraq was 40 out of 100,000 people. By 1995, it had increased to 800 out of 100,000 people, and, by 2005, it had doubled to at least 1,600 out of 100,000 people. Current estimates show the increasing trend continuing."

As horrible and tragic and sad and heartbreaking as that is, the American public isn't going to care.
We kill over a million babies a year here on purpose.
We call it "women's rights" and look the other way.
America doesn't care about it's own babies -- it's certainly not going to care about Iraq's.
We're awash in the blood of dead babies.
And payback's gonna be a bitch.

I looks like some people would rather change the subject to the abortion debate in the US rather than deal with the chaos, cancer, death, and destruction that we leave behind in the countries we invade with our bombs and missiles.
