Many things happened after the Gulf War or also known as Operation Desert Storm. Do we even know what happened to the people of Iraq after it ended? I mean we captured their leader Saddam Hussein. Many innocent people were killed and entire villages were destroyed because of those bombings. We wiped out over 100,000 soldiers of their army. Do we really care about what has ever happened there? Mostly what we hear is how it effected us in the United States. What about the people left to live in Iraq?
There was a chemical used durring the war called Depleted Uranium (DU). It spread out as a nuclear mist over their country during the bombings of the war. Later, after all of that, there were some babies that were born deformed because of this mist. The pictures are shown below of some of these babies that effected. This is so sad because the babies were born deformed and they didn't even do anything. The United stated denies using DU which would cause this to happen. The war is over, but the effects will last a lifetime.
