It's a virtual certainty that Depleted Uranium Shells where used in the 
gulf war but even I wouldn't believe those figures (or rather the source 
of those figures - China).  As Eric said the economic sanctions have had 
a drastic effect on the Iraqi people.  OTOH they have made little impact 
on Saddam himself and his people probably hate the UN for the sanctions 
and Saddam, so they won't trust us if we do /liberate/ them from Saddam.

In modern times these things aren't worth the paper they're written on. 
  You forget that the world is run on money and war makes money. 
Nowadays any government will toss aside whatever treaties it wants if it 
will make it cash.  The US, the UK, China and who ever else don't give a 
shit about anything but money.  That's the truth and if you don't like 
it tough shit.  You are one man, you have no voice and if you can't deal 
with that get off the bus.  If you have a billion dollar business maybe 
you can make a (small) difference but you don't and can't so live with it.

I dislike Bush and the US government but they are only the embodiement 
of all that is wrong with the world, in my own country it is the same. 
I accept that the world is a fucked up place and try to make the best of 
my life.  I choose to hope that sometime things will come right, and the 
world will be a better place someday.  Have hope and faith in humanity 
but don't force your beliefs on others or you'll be as bad as the people 
who fuck with this planet.
