Dump The Dollar! -- How The World Can Stop Bush (Paul Craig Roberts)
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS -- CounterPunch
Feb. 12, 2007 -- What would be the consequences of a U.S. or Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear energy sites?
At the 2006 Perdana Global Peace Forum, Australian medical scientist Dr. Helen Caldicott provided an authoritative analysis of the devastating impact on human life that would result from the radiation release from such an attack.
Dr. Caldicott described the catastrophic deaths that would result from a conventional attack on nuclear facilities and the long-term increase in cancer deaths from the radiation release.
Should the attack be made with nuclear weapons -- as some of Bush's criminally insane neoconservative advisers advocate -- the populations of many countries would suffer for generations from radioactive particles in air, water, and food chains. Deaths would number in the many millions.
Such an attack justified in the name of "American security" and "American hegemony" would constitute the rawest form of evil the world has ever seen, far surpassing in evil the atrocities of the Nazi and Communist regimes.
