DRESDEN vs HIROSHIMA / NAGASAKI

Nazi concentration camps were not created for detaining enemies. They were created for the purpose of MURDERING the ' lesser ' races: Slavs, Jews, blacks and Gypsies.

While some folks may question the morality of detaining people that are suspected of wanting to harm us in 'detention ' camps., it is indeed necessary.

While regretable, and now in hindsight, seen as morally repugnant , the Japanese-Americans that were kept in camps by the US during WWII was done for security reasons and not for any evil intentions...such as Stalins Gulags....and Hitlers MANY , MANY concentration camps .

{ the US has a lot of concentration camps set up at this very moment, some of them able to hold more than a million people...}

Camps that hold a million people?!?!?! Holy Cow....now I know where all my tax dollars are going....

"Depleted uranium" is what's left after you take the U235 out to make "enriched uranium". "Enriched uranium" is certainly very dangerous, "depleted uranium" much less so.

>>The White Phosphorus used in Fallujah . . .

I saw the pictures of the "white phosphorus victims" from Fallujah. They looked like corpses that had been left in the desert until they were black and horribly shriveled (it doesn't take long). None bore the distinctive marks of white phosphorus.

White phosphorus is a frightening weapon to use against troops in the open: Typically, the "air burst" of a shell scatters burning WP particles over a large area. These cannot be extinguished by water, and tend to burn their way into the skin and flesh of anyone they land on. (I once saw the deep scars of white phosphorus on a very old Japanese gentleman who was only a child when we dropped the stuff on his town in 1945; the psychological scars were apparently as deep as the physical ones.) We're talking about a measle-like scattering of small burns rather than charring a large area of skin.

Used against troops in a built-up area (such as Fallujah) it is not likely to have any such effect, since they can easily take cover and will quickly do so. In this case, the effect lies in the thick cloud of irritating (though non-lethal) smoke and the likelihood of setting flammable structures on fire. This is used more to flush out enemy troops than to cause them direct damage.
