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?

I am only human, after all. What I think door was referring to as an ecological disaster was the danger of oil spills and oil fires. While some oil fires did occur, I think the overall ecological impact was much more minimal than many had thought would be the case before the war.
