Re: Great idea Archived Message Posted by Si on September 29, 2019, 12:55 pm, in reply to "Great idea" In Iraq, environmental toxins left behind by the Pentagon’s devastating 2003 invasion include depleted uranium, which has left children living near U.S. bases with an increased risk of congenital heart disease, spinal deformities, cancer, leukemia, cleft lip and missing or malformed and paralyzed limbs. 'How dare' they do this? 'How dare' they destroy the lives of those children? Do those children have forlorn 'dreams'? If only we had a strong voice from a youngster which could speak up for those children - and the children of Libya, Yemen, Palestine, Afghanistan and elsewhere. If only there was a protest group with full-spectrum access to public fora; with wall-to-wall coverage on air, tv, and in print. If only we had a protest group that could mobilise millions of people worldwide to take to the streets and denounce the ongoing slaughter of children and the attendant immediate despoiling of living environments. If only we had a group with the world's ears finely attuned to the urgency of their appeal, and balls to exclaim to the powerful that 'change is coming whether you like it or not...' If only, eh!
