Dear Rn list, Jan. 27
Viviane Lerner sent us notice of a TV program to be shown tonight on "Iraq's
continuing nuclear threat".
I have no doubt that Iraq's government would be continuing to arm itself
with nuclear weapons if it could, and for all I know, it may still be able
to do so.
But, of course, Iraq is not the only country which poses a nuclear threat;
it would be idiotic to bomb any one of these countries; instead of bombing
or other types of violence, surely it makes sense to support those elements
of our societies which are working to bring an end to the nuclear threat.
Actually, there is a global campaign to abolish nuclear weapons, called
Abolition 2000. Viviane Lerner has sent the message below to an abolition
address. Write to them if you would like to find out more about this
campaign. Or write to me; I have lots of information on it.
all the best, Jan
PS Most people who are "up in arms" about Iraq's nuclear threat either do
not know or choose to ignore the fact that the US used depleted uranium (DU)
in the "ordinance" it dumped not only on Iraq, but also in Yugoslavia. So, I
will include a message about the DU bullets used in Iraq that Viviane
Lernere sent us earlier.
Sometimes people need to SEE what DU does. If so, I recommend they get ahold
of a copy of the Jan. 10 issue of the _Manchester Guardian_, which shows
some pretty disturbing photos of children suffering from the after effects
of DU.
