Cancer, Infant Mortality and Birth Sex-Ratio in Fallujah, Iraq 2005–2009

I found this interesting study about the long term impact of the "Battle of Fallujah" on the health of the residents:
Chris Busby,Malak Hamdan, and Entesar Ariabi, Cancer, Infant Mortality and Birth Sex-Ratio in Fallujah, Iraq 2005–2009, Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2010, 7, 2828-2837

If you'd rather skip the technical document, read what journalist Patrick Cockburn says about it in The Independent: Toxic legacy of US assault on Fallujah 'worse than Hiroshima'

Yet one more piece of evidence that the American invasion and occupation of Iraq is not and has never been an altruistic endeavor.
