And what are we doing when the two most powerful nations on earth -- America and Israel -- stomp on the elementary rights of human beings?

Radon concentrations are bad too.

That doesn't mean that not mitigating when you sell your house is homocidal. (I worked as a mitigator for a while) Will we mitigate the radiological and chemical problems we are causing in Iraq? Unlikely. (and there ARE problems, and it IS bad for you).

Is it genocide? Is using DU like sowing U235 in the fields? Of course not. I wouldn't eat any food grown in a field that was the site of a tank battle using DU rounds, though. I would prefer not to live in a neighborhood that's been contaminated, either. But silly me. I wouldn't live next to a city dump or a Union Carbide plant, either.

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
