Nuclear War

US Plans Widespread Use of Nuclear Weapons in War

I linked to a different article on that same story a while ago but Yahoo News just linked me to that article above, which is more detailed than the previous one I'd seen. It's an extremely disturbing subject. The U.S. government's supposedly non-nuclear missiles that they've used on Iraq and Afghanistan already contain a gigantic assortment of radioactive materials which have caused a gigantic increase in cancer among Iraqi children since the Persian Gulf war and the half-life of those materials is generally about equal to the age of the earth. Now George II looks all too interested in outdoing his father in the competition to see which U.S. president can irradiate the planet most.

This is so goddamn disturbing, and what really gets me is that I don't know what I can do!!!!! If anyone has a suggestion, I'd sure like to hear it.

RabidChilde wrote a letter to his senator. That sounds like a good idea to me. You can read his letter in his journal.
