Oil Spill in Persian Gulf
Even before Hussein became an environmental terrorist, I had wondered what environmental impact our sortie explosions have on the atmosphere. Our initial air attack included more than 1,000 sorties. With our existence dependent on a stressed ecosystem, I have a feeling that Earth will suffer in the long-run from this war. I hope President Bush and the military will assess human casualties on all sides, then acknowledge the probability that we are also harming the environment by waging war. Hussein was responsible for the oil spill, but aren’t we Americans responsible for environmental damage also?
