Thanks for the post above Wolfgang, your points are very well put.

On the subject of DU ammunition, I would like to elaborate on a question I raised earlier.

These munitions were made and tested in various countries around the world, the US military is not the only armed force that has developed them. They must, therefore, have been tested in those countries and those tests would have included live firings against the targets they were meant to destroy. The effects would therefore have been similar, albeit to a slightly lesser degree.

What are the statistics in, and around, those test areas for incidence of the illnesses reported as being attributable to DU rounds used in "Desert Storm" ?? Any figures - anybody?
