    Its to do with the weapons America use such as white phosphorus and other nuclear weapons which are illegal under international law (but international law does not apply to America) What America has done is Iraq is not fight a war but commit genocide. These are the things you don't hear in the media.

    *Edit

    watch the american patriots come on here like "u_bin_called" to make up excuses defending their terrorist soldiers. It has nothing to do with Saddam because it didn't used to happen before and only start happening after the americans invaded

    Seriously though. Iran has been their mortal enemy for a long time. They have plenty of radioactive, and other toxic, waste to dispose of. And a history of using chemical waepons which need to be disposed of. But there are laws preventing it's exportation. And there's their age old enemy right next door. It would look so conveniently look like the US did it too.

    ...a lot of kids raised to think that criticizing everything Americans do counts as "critical thinking" will say something like depleted uranium... even though depleted uranium is also common in dentistry and commercial pigments....

    ...I'm guessing all the oil wells that Saddam Hussein ordered set ablaze filling the Iraqi skies with acrid black smoke for months probably had greater overall health effects..
