It is paranoid if you assume that it was done that it will be done "virtually anywhere."

Take the use of depleted uranium. It isn't paranoid to start criticizing the U.S. for ravaging Iraq with the stuff. But it is paranoid to suggest that the U.S. is intentionally distributing toxic materials wholesale in other realms of its dealings, including trade, commerce, and foreign aid.

You're making a big leap here.
