Lead, which is what was used before DU, destroys the brains of children in utero which could possibly end the entire genetic line of that chold. In theory and practice, lead ALREADY HAS killed millions more people than DU has. And lead persists in the environment, so it too can damage people for GENERATIONS. Just ask those who live in old housing stock.

GOD< I am so sickened by ignorant people and the promoters of lead.

One baby poisoned by lead is bad enough. Permanent annihilation and extinction of a genetic line (actually, you are ignorantly misusing the term "genetic line") is much worse when it affects broad swatches of the population, which lead does do.

Yes, you can wipe out 20,000 Iraqis with lead. But you may poison and damage the brains, testes, and lives of millions more.
