A European aid agency has reported a rise in child mortality in the southern Iraqi city of Basra where hospital care is said to be in crisis.
Absurd. What is this nation doing to these children? It's bad enough that the US ranks 36 in the world in infant mortality. Yep, we rank worse that Cuba (no surprise), Portugal, Liechtenstein, Andorra and the Czech Republic. Is this how we "free Iraq?"

Thanks Berniemac,
I agree. My brother, a gulf war veteran has Grave's disease (a form of hyperthyroidism) and PTSD as a result of the war. And guess who is stepping up to the plate to treat him? Not the Army.
Helen Caldicott is doing a lot of work around DU.
