Act like you own this country because in the end, you will be the ones held accountable for its conduct. It appears that message came in all too clear when the World Trade Center was reduced to burning rubble. I suggest, before we become hell bent on revenge, we need to ask this question. Were those attacks a legitimate response to the conduct of this government and the global economic powers headquartered at the World Trade Center? Those attacks were obviously a retaliatory strike. We need to find out what this government did to piss off these people and whether the attack on the World Trade Center was a cold dish of street justice that was long overdue. The last time this government sent American troops in mass to a major conflict was approximately 10 years ago in Desert Storm. This government created a radioactive battlefield from depleted uranium rounds that has made over 130,000 of our Veterans gravely ill and killed over 30,000 of them. Several VA studies of children born from Gulf War Veterans reveal severe birth defects in those children exceeding 60%. I do not want this piece of shit government to put our armed forces or another country in that situation again. That radioactive battlefield WE CREATED will continue to kill Iraqi citizens (civilians) for thousands of years. The death toll of Iraqi children to radiation from Depleted Uranium munitions exceeds ten fold the casualties at the World Trade Center. That fact alone should raise serious questions on whether or not our outrage is legitimate OR POINTED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THIS IS IMPORTANT. One construction componentforthese airliners is depleted uranium. It is used in the wings as stablizers. Depleted uramium (DU) is pyrophoric and up to 80% of it will vaporize when it ignites. Those vaporized particles are toxic and radioactive. Each plane had more that 800 pounds of DU in those wings and those vaporized particles will create a higher death toll than the destruction of the trade center. What I'm telling you is this. Those people working in the rubble need to be in Hazmat suits. THE RADIOACTIVE DUST IS GOING TO KILL ALOT OF THOSE PEOPLE WORKING IN THAT SHIT. YOU ALSO NEED TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH DU (DEPLETED URAMIUM) WENT INTO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE BUILDINGS BECAUSE THAT FIRE WAS HOT ENOUGH TO IGNITE IT. YOUR CITY IS GOING TO LEARN JUST HOW DANGEROUS A RADIOACTIVE BATTLEFIELD CAN BE. One call to the EPA will confirm this risk assessment. Sincerely, Jay Lindberg PS. If you are wondering why the government or the media has not notified the city of this danger, the answer is obvious. They have a vested interest in the status quo and they can't let that rat out of the bag. !Jr Table F-3. Resulting Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk Assuming Intake at the RID.
