We should "talk softly and carry a big stick". Bottom line if you don't have a big stick, most folks don't one care whether you talk at all. Its a sad reality but a strong defense, backed up by strong weapons = peace. Everytime the U.S. has allowed itself to become weak, it leads to war. Read the history books. This is a fractured world and the way to live it in peacefully is to have a strong and capable defense...with lots of nasty weapons to back you up when diplomacy fails.

firstly the term depleted is misleading if you do the research you find that only 2% of the radioactive material has been removed from the material yes that's right 98% is still intact ! as for war being necessary that's pure 100% bullshit. war is about money & energy nothing more the U.S military industrial complex needs to avoid going out of business pure & simple they have been engaged in creating wars & supplying arms since the year dot for the overlords BANKERS, wake up

See International Information Program- False Allegations Regarding Depleted Uranium "Depleted uranium is actually 40% less radioactive than the natural uranium in the environment around us, and much less radioactive than fuel-grade or weapons-grade uranium". Independent studies have shown large increases in cancers and birth defects where the Iraqi regime has used chemical weapons.

i don't think you get it. 1: there is NO safe level of radioactive contamination.2:D.U is not in some rock form but burnt into sub micron dust particles easily inhaled or ingested ,with a half life of 2.5 Billion years.D.U is present all over Iraq from U.S military operations ask yourself how is it that 428,000 gulf war1 veterans are on permanent disability pensions after taking part in a 2 week ground war? vaccinations,chemical exposure & D.U that's how defending the indefencible mate.

who on earth is samira jassim?

Oh... a lovely mother of 6 children who had other mother's children raped and then she told those girls that they only way to save their honor was to become living bombs. She sent about 30 girls to their deaths.

[DURound]

Ahhhh listening to this video again.. Rokke is so bogus.

[DURound]

Ahhh.. Samira Jassim convinced me that hate and war are equal opportunity employers.

I can rant all day on DU, but am saving this for personal reasons.

---

You probably can. But not because it actually causes serious problems for vast numbers of people. More likely because it is one more symbol of war -- which you do not like.

But also remember.. war and combat.. settle things. And sometimes things need to be settled.

[DURound]

I was being sarcastic on my ''dueling at sundown'' the point comes down to humans evolving past war mentality to begin with.

---

Well, thats an idealistic view that has been proposed for many many years... well before anyone I know was born, and yet not a year goes by without wars.

I think it is probably like wishing for people to stop being people.

[DURound]

All true except once upon a time men fought sword to sword or gun to gun, with few civilian casualties years later.

---

Yeah, but wars would go on for decades and even for generations. Not so good.

Also disease was more rampant.

But even if all that time was so much better (and it wasn't) your complaint is about war period. And there has never been a time with humans on earth that there was not also war. Never in recorded history. Ever.

So lets deal with the realistic things.

[DURound]

Sheesh, what happened to a dual at sundown?

---

Aren't you being a bit silly?

[DURound]

I don't get your point. Saving friendlies at what costs to civilian populations? You must realize innnocent children lose limbs with cluster bombs, often many years later.

---

Well, this requires a great deal more analysis which cannot be done here. In essence you must also ask what about the costs that would occur to those populations without those weapons being used? They might be pretty great!

But you are reaching pretty far past the topic of D.U.
