Depleted Uranium Weaponry Ban

To:  All Concerned Humanitarians

We, the undersigned, demand an immediate ban on all depleted uranium weaponry. This highly carcinogenic poison is killing babies and children by the tens of thousands in Iraq and will soon be doing the same in the Balkans. It is a form of genocide and a severe environmental threat. We are not winning a war by giving babies cancer. We are not necessarily endorsing an end to war, only an end to using depleted uranium. These countries were once our allies and may someday be our allies again. Our problems are with the leaders of these countries, not with the children, babies, parents, and grandparents who are people just like us. The depleted uranium will poison the Earth long after the wounds of war have healed.
It is not in the best interest of the UN, NATO, nor the United States of America, to poison large segments of the population indiscriminately and it will not be tolerated. The handling of these weapons may poison our own servicemen and women. We are supposed to be the defenders of the weak and disenfranchised. We are not supposed to play the role of the Great Satan that so many now see us in. Let’s return to the role of the Peacekeeper and leave genocide for the bad guys on the other side. There can be no winners in a war fought between two evils.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
