Inbreeding. 50% of marriages in Iraq are between cousins. It's always had shockingly high incidences of birth defects.

Inbreeding might account for a higher than normal rate of birth defects, but it wouldn't account for a sudden rise in birth defects. Presumably if marrying your cousin is the custom, it was always the custom.

Not that bored, but there's a transcript in the OP link if you want. Still, it's worth watching just to see the sheer horror and disfigurement inflicted on these poor children.

How would these children have fared if they had been left under the care of the insurgents in Fallujah?

Well, they might not look like Elephant Men for one. But, hey, freedom obviously has a high price, your kid might have tumour the size of a basketball growing from his head, but at least you got to vote! :oldroll:

And not have your tongue cut out and fingers chopped off. Which is the least of what the filthy insurgents did to people in fallujah.

It's still not proven that the US is responsible.

In your opinion, is it ever appropriate to use force?

Well, when Islamic terrorists use force to blow up buses, or the twin towers, it is at least understandable that they did it -- all a "reaction" against the unspeakable evils (like breathing) the Americans or Jews have done, naturally.
