Iraq

Oh, those bastards!!!! This avowed atheist hopes there actually is a hell so that the military officers who ordered the use of napalm in Iraq would roast in their own beloved weapon for all eternity!

They denied using napalm at first. They said they had destroyed the last stockpiles in 2001.

I wanted to believe it... I did not want to believe that in these times, there still are soldiers who find this kind of weapon acceptable.



Well, they DID use them.



They call it another name now.

Napalm bombs are now called firebombs: 510 pound bombs consisting of 44lbs of polystyrene-like gel and 63 gallons of jet fuel. When you drop that on a target it results in a huge firebomb, wiping out everything and everybody in the region. It is a barbaric and truly horrific weapon. Most of the world signed the 1980 UN convention - of course, the US did not.



I feel sick to my stomach!
