Punch "depleted uranium" into the search box and you get real science rather than amateur opinion, e.g. "Chromosome aberration analysis in peripheral lymphocytes of Gulf War and Balkans War veterans." |

... the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera TV channel launched an English-language site late in March 2003. After a faltering start, this was working okay some time in April of 2003 but was "coming soon" as of 2003 June 14. A link in the "news" box above goes to the site of this Qatar-based organization. Here is another link to the same place: english.aljazeera.net.

I wanted to find a straightforward link to some unbiased site giving a simple uncolored narrative account of the firebombing of Dresden, but this proved a little more difficult that anticipated ....
One of the problems is that this subject seems to have attracted a number of right wing extremists (and also, paradoxically, left wing extremists) and it's sometimes hard to tell who is who.
I decided in the end to link to a Canadian site put together by people who seem to have a historical interest rather than some kind of axe to grind.
The question here is not "Who would Jesus bomb?" Rather, the question is, "What happens when you do bomb people? When you incinerate a civilian city?"
