Roger,
I’m not sure what is wrong with that baby, but it definitely isn’t Harlequin Ichthyosis. Harlequin is a VERY visible skin disorder, which causes distinctive injuries not present on this poor baby.
I don’t have enough information to have formed an opinion on DU one way or the other, but this obvious (intentional?) error makes the rest of your comment suspect.

That’s really sad. it almost made me cry. Its hard to feel what goes on his parents when seeing their kid in such position.. Wonder what he has done that he is in such condition..
It’s good to see posts like Danielle’s and Sarah…. Let’s put religions a part. we are all human beings. each and everyone of us has family, friends and loved ones. we all live under one sky, same air blows around everyone. same water and food we eat, and so on… No one is superior than others. The superior ones are those who has feelings toward living beings. Slaughtering and attacking a poor nation leaves nothing behind except hatred and anger for eachother.
I must remind everyone that these wars are nothing but only a political game. Religion got nothing to do with this fight.
LETS SEE 20 years back, same religions and people were existing. But there were no war or anybody defaming religions or its followers. Why it has began in this last 9 years?

We Muslims are peacemaker and have kind heart just like everyone else. we have much respect towards other religions.. Jews and Christians are called the people of the book (e.g the books/scriptures thats been sent down to us from Allah / God’s sight). Muslims believe and have faith on prophet Jesus Christ and Abraham, as they are messengers of God. They came to us to guide us to the right path. showed us how to love one another and live a peaceful life.

Lets bring peace in the world. For sake of our new generations.

the claim that DU munitions are used only on armored vehicles is a lie – they are used widely and stupidity is no excuse – DU is Malthus’ dream come true – it fulfills Henry Kissinger’s good riddance to the the worlds “useless eaters,” as quoted from his infamous memo – as for contamination of coalition soldiers, there is also Dr. K to cite for Pentagon policy toward them: ‘Military men are “dumb, stupid animals to be used” as pawns for foreign policy.” That they continue to serve globalists who employ the likes of Kissinger could attest to that claim – common sense, one would think would lead them to turn on their real enemy who see us all as mere cannon fodder

I started reading this article with tremendous anger at anyone who could knowingly inflict this suffering to another human being and then reading through the comments my anger turned to sadness at how quickly sides were drawn according to personal religions. Some individuals, singly or ganging together, want to murder, terrorise and control, using whatever means to do so. Its only we, the public, who allow this to be in the name of individual religions. Why dont we erase mention of religion and refer to them as the heinous, murderers, terrorists, despots etc that they are because without their religion they have no collective banner to fight under

@Anyway…yes and who makes those strict laws in the US? Christians.
Ayesha clearly suggested those NOT muslim are the evil ones. America should give up their defense while terrorists and radical muslims don’t.?
@Danielle… we are talking about the here and now, not biblical times through the centuries, so stop lecturing. The only extremist groups today are muslim, given full reign to perpetrate vicious atrocities and vile acts upon the innocent, esp. non muslims. Read up on the civil and human rights act of non muslims in a muslim country and learn something. Go live there and find out first hand. Your nauseating sympathy and understanding won’t be recipricated I can assure you. Btw, I’m Catholic married to a muslim.! lol. My info is quite accurate. So I agree, ‘please stop making broad generalizations about people you don’t know anything about. Get informed and stop being ignorant? Then maybe people would listen to you and take what you had to say seriously.’ Good posts by Mr. Lindorff and Roger. Bye all. Leaving for the Far East again tomorrow.

@Dave Lindorff RE: Roger the truth dodger:
HA! Thought so. Thanks for clearing that up. Nice rebuttal of “Sarah,” too.

No Chris. I think it’s clear. There’s nothing secret about the craven money-loving behavior of our Congressional reps, and on the other hand, nobody could suggest that Congress “controls the planet.”

Nor is there anything secret about corporations loving money or being “behind” everything. That’s all right out front.

What she’s using is code words that have been used for centuries by anti-semites to refer to Jews.

I didn’t interpret that Sarah was talking about Jews at all. It sounded as though she was speaking of our evil US Government and military. Most likely a particular party.
It would be hard to believe she would compliment your your article in the first sentence, agree that it is a sad issue, want to save humanity by small thinking, and at the same time insinuate racism. Seriously, Could you have perhaps misinterepreted who she was talking about? It seems to me she meant the money hungry machine our government has been running.

P.S. Not trying to be nasty, I was just shocked by your response to her post.

Why do we keep having this BS racist anti-semitism on progressive sites. Sarah, I happen to be married to a jewish woman, and let me tell you, she’ s a brilliant harpsichordist, but as unconcerned about money as any first-class artist could be. You insult her, you insult me, and you insult every jew who has forsworn wealth to pursue art, social justice, peace or who has just tried to live a decent life with your racist comments about money. It is no excuse that you didn’t say the word jew. You know what you were signalling in your comment, and it is disgusting and out of place anywhere but certainly on this news site.

Jews are no more and no less concerned with money and control of money than are any other people on this planet.
