Already piling up, Bobert. But other than the occasional article like the one in the Seattle P. I., you rarely, if ever, see or hear anything about it in the American media. Gotta forage in overseas news services to get much of anything on it.

Since the first Gulf War, Iraq has seen a ten-fold increase in severe birth defects (statistically consistent with the increase in birth defects in Hiroshima following the end of World War II), an eighteen-fold increase in cancers of various kinds, and at least a six-fold increase in childhood leukemia.
