The following copy and terrible and tragic photographs show what US imperialism is responsible for in Afghanistan and other countries in its mad dash towards its new world order which in fact is fascism in its ugliest, that will affect generations to come.

The photos are quite gruesome; if viewers want to see them, they should click here.

Due to the use of massive amount of uranium in munitions used by the US forces in the initial bombing and subsequently there are massive amount of congenital deformities in newly born children all over Afghanistan. The rate of various cancers, leukemia and esophageal cancers are in epidemic proportions in newly born children. This is according to specialists and doctors in Kabul hospitals. In fact, the magnitude of man-made isotopes was established by the USA’s Uranium Medical Research Centre itself, after their investigators made many trips to Afghanistan and collected urine and soil samples.

These doctors and scientists established that the rate of US made isotopes has gone up over 2,000 time in some people located near the bombed out areas. Since the use of depleted uranium by the US armed forces in bombing Afghanistan and used in weapons as they are doing now in Iraq, have a life span of 4-5 billon years, US imperialism has ensured that generations of Afghans will suffer from cancers and deformities. This is the biggest war crime ever committed by anyone in the history of humanity!

The crimes of the US forces are being exposed slowly and they are beyond description in their brutality, sadism and outright inhumanity of man to man.

Here is just one case of this sadism and the "democracy" that US imperialism has already brought to Afghanistan and now to Iraq!

In the Bagrami area of Kabul, the US forces assaulted a small enclave of Nomads. The US helicopters flew over this Nomad (Gypsy) enclave and saw the Nomad women near their tents. They landed the helicopters and kidnapped these women at gunpoint. They flew away with these women to some location, where these women were gang-raped. After these women were gang-raped and some died in this brutal process, the US soldiers flew these women back to the community from where they were kidnapped. However, the US helicopters did not land this time, the women were thrown down on the ground.

This is not unique for US soldiers since they committed similar crimes in Vietnam. US forces in this respect were cowards, because if they landed, they know that the men would open fire on them in revenge!

Why doesn’t the UN Security Council try the US leadership for war crimes against humanity? Where are the so- called Christian Churches, Mosques or Synagogues who wallow in untold wealth and directly or indirectly support Imperialism?

Look at these pictures and think how would you feel if your child or your children’s child was born like this, due to American depleted uranium weapons? Bush or Blair or other despots of course will go to worship with a bible under the arm and as usual, the so-called Almighty will forgive the sins, and the death and destruction can begin anew!

Yes, dear readers, the old saying is so correct:

There is absolutely no one more righteous than a prostitute after confession!

This is what western "democracy" brought to Afghanistan and Iraq!
