Kriisinhallintaan liittyen ehkä olisi myös tuotava esiin seikka jota ei liiemmin ole näkynyt julkisessa keskustelussa. Asiaan saattaa olla vaikuttamassa sanktiot jotka " kaverin päälle kasattuna " ei vaikuta oikein kivalta. Kuitenkin on selvää että Demokratian puolustamiseen liittyy aika ajoin uusia ja peräti kummallisia asia yhteyksiä sekä tahoja joilla jopa on kykyä ja taitoa kieltää tosi asioita.

Bosnian rauhanturva operaatioon osallistuneita ei ole todenäköisesti myöskään riittävästi informoitu uraani oxsiidin vaikutuksista sotatoimien jälkeen. USA on käyttänyt radioaktiivisia ammuksia myös Bosniassa.

Mietelauseeksi valitsin seuraavaa : "Sota on julmaa ja Ratsuväki raakaa"

Huhuja Salaperäisen Ilmailuliikenteen kautta tapahtuneesta radioaktiivisen aineen levityksestä on pidettävä vahvasti liioteltuna.

A British group has estimated the weaponized ceramic uranium oxide will account for an additional 25 million cancers in Iraq in the next several years. There are only 26 million Iraqis to start with, minus the nearly 1.7 million killed by war or sanctions since 1991, plus some live births.

Karen Parker, a prominent U.S. international human rights lawyer, says there are four rules derived from humanitarian laws and conventions regarding weapons:

1. Weapons may only be used against legal enemy military targets and must not have an adverse effect elsewhere (the territorial rule).
2. Weapons can only be used for the duration of an armed conflict and must not be used or continue to act afterwards (the temporal rule).
3. Weapons may not be unduly inhumane (the "humaneness" rule). The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 speak of "unnecessary suffering" and
   "superfluous injury" in this regard
   
4. Weapons may not have an unduly negative effect on the natural environment (the "environmental" rule).

"DU weaponry fails all four tests," Parker states. "First, DU cannot be
limited to legal military targets. Second, it cannot be 'turned off' when the war is over but keeps killing.

"Third, DU can kill through painful conditions such as cancers and organ
damage and can also cause birth defects, such as facial deformities and missing limbs. Lastly, DU cannot be used without unduly damaging the natural environment.

"In my view, use of DU weaponry violates the grave breach provisions of the
Geneva Conventions," Parker concluded, "and so its use constitutes a war crime, or crime against humanity."

In conclusion, the president of the United States, George W. Bush, and the prime minister of Great Britain, Tony Blair, must acknowledge and accept responsibility for willful use of illegal uranium munitions - their own "dirty bombs" - resulting in adverse health and environmental effects.

President Bush and Prime Minister Blair also should order:

1. medical care for all casualties,
2. thorough environmental remediation,
3. immediate cessation of retaliation against all of us who demand compliance with medical care and environmental remediation requirements,
4. and ban the future use of depleted uranium munitions
