Iran accuses Bush over depleted uranium

The Iranian president has condemned George Bush over his use of depleted uranium in Iraq. The report claims that 120 tons have been used, but other estimates reckon that over 2,000 tonnes of depleted uranium munitions were used in Iraq, turning areas of Iraq into a radioactive dustbin, and causing increases in the rates of cancers, birth defects and other illnesses.

New songs upload tonight on my website. two new songs, 'babies born' and 'your government', both strongly express my feelings regarding the tragedy of children affected by war. Both have been peformed a few times in the past month and have evolved into these 'renditions' .... musical renditions that is!

Have a great weekend! And remember a happy activist is an effective activist, 'cos one carries the peace within oneself, and it permeates whatever one does, even in the face of the utmost pressure from those who chose not act with peace. A happy person can be very angry too, you know!

Kindest regards
