Before you say it, and sound really stupid doing so...I work with DU munitions on a monthly basis. REM readings at the end of the day, are usually LOWER than when I started in the morning.
Uranium Hexaflouride (DU) is 60+% LESS radioactive than natural Uranium...which also isn't very dangerous at all. U238 is created when U234 and U235 are seperated from natural Uranium. DU is the leftovers from the process. DU is NOT fissionable, but very heavy for it's relative density, that's why it makes a perfect kinetic energy projectile. Because it is much less "hot" than mined Uranium ore, it does not reach even the most liberal interpretation of the radiation guidlines of the UN.
Tear gas (HS or HC)also does not meet any level of UN criteria as a weapon. We don't use it because both of those are too persistant, meaning it sticks around too long to be useful. If we gas an area, we can't move into it until the crystals and oils dissipate, which can take wayyyy too long.
Palestine has never existed as a state or country. Israel has always been a country. But until 1947-48, a recognised border was never established. Israel builds and designs it's own munitions and weapon systems, and very good ones at that, but some items are cheaper to buy than make, ie; F16's. Israel has been attacked many times by its neighbors, and has succesfully repelled all invaders. The land it has aqquired from these battles is legally theirs by international recognition of warfare. It's the same reason we own Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Marshall Islands, etc..
9/11 was the result of evil people hating for a cause. The US just happens to be that cause. Evil people should be aware that we do not take kindly to getting kicked in the head, and we will set out to destroy those evil people so that the rest of the world won't have to....including France. That destruction has begun, and will not end until all the bad people have been killed. We haven't stopped with Iraq, only ended that place of being bad. We will now show it how to be good, like we did in Germany, Japan, Soviet Union, Italy.......and France

So let me guess because someone differs from your view point you want them gone. You know Stalin did the same thing.
