yeah they also stopped dropping nuclear bombs on japan. two was enough i guess > The effects of a recent US war can be seen in Serbia you mean the child cancer cases as a result of using depleted uranium during bombing campaign which was aimed at the country's economic infrastructure and TV stations ... and Chinese embasy ?

Bombing was done because Serbia was doing ethnic cleansing. It was justified and any sane person would do it again. Serbia is a mini-Russia. That's why one supports the other. It should be done to Russia, but you know unfortunately there are nukes now.

Cancer? Depleted uranium is not radioactive.

  Uranium is toxic. Tank crews from the Iraq war have health issues due to DU fumes. Although I fail to see what use it has in bombs. https://m.dw.com/en/uranium-risks-haunt-kosovo-survivors/a-16366645-0 https://m.dw.com/en/uranium-risks-haunt-kosovo-survivors/a-1... The conclusion of this article is: not enough data.

  Have a read of the following, then tell me if you would like to live in an area that's been contaminated with depleted uranium: > Depleted uranium (DU) is an emerging environmental pollutant that is introduced into the environment primarily by military activity. While depleted uranium is less radioactive than natural uranium, it still retains all the chemical toxicity associated with the original element. In large doses the kidney is the target organ for the acute chemical toxicity of this metal, producing potentially lethal tubular necrosis. In contrast, chronic low dose exposure to depleted uranium may not produce a clear and defined set of symptoms. Chronic low-dose, or subacute, exposure to depleted uranium alters the appearance of milestones in developing organisms. Adult animals that were exposed to depleted uranium during development display persistent alterations in behavior, even after cessation of depleted uranium exposure. Adult animals exposed to depleted uranium demonstrate altered behaviors and a variety of alterations to brain chemistry. Despite its reduced level of radioactivity evidence continues to accumulate that depleted uranium, if ingested, may pose a radiologic hazard. The current state of knowledge concerning DU is discussed. SOURCE: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20195447/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20195447/
