As for thousands of depleted uranium shells in my backyard, if I had an army we would fight to the death to keep you from putting them there. Wasn't that what the Iraqis did? The hysteria comes from, not their existence, but from people pounding their chest over them. Maybe if we all get hysterical enough they will all just go away, or maybe just never have existed at all?

You're right, I did pigeonhole you pretty hard there. I retract my statement about you wanting the US to rule the world by military force.
Depleted uranium shells. The Iraqis didn't fight to death to keep us from putting them there, we put them there while they were fighting us to the fall of the regime, not the death. We're not beating our breast over the shells, we're raising serious issues about their lingering effects. It seems to me that you're categorizing asking critical questions as hysteria. Perhaps you fell victim to the human tendency you cited?
