WAR CRIMES!

Iraq is littered with high levels of nuclear and dioxin contamination, according to Martin Chulov of the British guardian in it's 1/30/10 issue. Not only has that hapless nation suffered greater rates of cancers and birth defects near many of that nation's areas, but more than 40 sites across Iraq, with three decades of war has left the environment of that once proud nation in ruins. Areas in and near Iraq's largest towns and cities, including Najaf, Basra and Falluja account for about 25% of the contaminated sites, like communities which have seen increased rates of cancer and birth defects over the past five years.
But, on a brighter note: a high-ranking EU delegation, which includes 60 members of the EU parliament has called for the prosecution of Israeli officials, over war crimes in the heavily contaminated Gaza strip. British Labor Party Sir Gerald Kauffim, described their visit as a message of solidarity with Gaza to end the Israeli siege. He called for the prosecution of Israeli officials who had authorized the use of white phosphorous bombs, which are outlawed under the Geneva convention.
