re: vermav a liberal's war, too: against innocenc
A bit more hopefully Pt2
My trip to Iraq was made on entirely humanitarian grounds, to study what had happened, learn about the effects and try to help the people who had been affected. I am the Professor of Medical Genetics in the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom and I formerly worked for the British Medical Research Council (the British equivalent of NIH). My principal fields of medical research have always been directed to trying to understand the causes of congenital malformations and cancer and provide effective therapies for them. This journey and the horrifying findings have shocked and devastated me to an extent which I had not believed possible. It is the deliberate use of weapons of this ferocity, which have the power to kill or maim in perpetuity, which I find so terrible.
