Former Reagan undersecretary of the Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts, again warns of the dangers of Bush's attempts to start a war with Iran. Roberts warns of the catastrophic effects of a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, as well as a world strategy on how to prevent this from happening (for foreign countries to dump the U.S. dollar.)
Roberts article is titled The World Can Halt Bush's Crime By Dumping the Dollar. Below is an exerpt from the beginning of the article.
"The World Can Halt Bush’s Crimes By Dumping the Dollar
By Paul Craig Roberts
What would be the consequences of a US or Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear energy sites?
At the 2006 Perdana Global Peace Forum, Australian medical scientist Dr. Helen Caldicott provided an authoritative analysis of the devastating impact on human life that would result from the radiation release from such an attack. [VIDEO: The Dangers of a Nuclear War, Global Research, July 28, 2006]
Dr. Caldicott described the catastrophic deaths that would result from a conventional attack on nuclear facilities and the long-term increase in cancer deaths from the radiation release.
Should the attack be made with nuclear weapons—as some of Bush’s criminally insane neoconservative advisers advocate—the populations of many countries would suffer for generations from radioactive particles in air, water, and food chains. Deaths would number in the many millions.
Such an attack justified in the name of "American security" and "American hegemony" would constitute the rawest form of evil the world has ever seen, far surpassing in evil the atrocities of the Nazi and Communist regimes.
Dr. Caldicott detailed the horrible long-term consequences for the Iraqi population from the US military’s current use of depleted uranium in explosive ammunition used in Iraq. Caldicott explained that "depleted" does not mean depleted of radiation. She explained that each time such ammunition is used, radioactive particles are released in the air and are absorbed into people’s lungs. We are yet to see the horrific civilian casualty rate of the American invasion—or the true casualty rate among US troops.
Dr. Caldicott expressed bewilderment why the rest of the world does not stand up to the US and force a halt to its crimes against humanity...."
