Unseasonable/Intempestive/Unzeitig

How boring.
And it’s a job I’ve being studing for ten years long.

Le nom scientifique est phosphore blanc. En théorie il devrait être employé pour éclairer les emplacements ennemis. En réalité il a été employé comme arme chimique dans la ville rebelle de Falluja, en Iraq. Et pas seulement contre des combattants, mais aussi contre des civils inermes. Les américains se seraient rendus responsables d’un massacre avec des armes nonconventionnelles, la même accusation dont doit répondre l’ex dictateur Saddam Hussein.

Il y à un mois même le Manifesto s’en est occupé : selon les reportage, Luciana Sgrena et Enzo Baldoni faisaient des rechèerche sur le phosphor blanc, lorsque ils furent kidnappé.
La monstruosité de l’utilisation du phosphor blanc est reconnue dès 100 ans. Malheuresement déjà alors la défense, très rigoureuse pour les États européens signataires (artt. 1 et 2), ne s’appliquait pas aux colonies (art.3).
Il y a des images terribles sur internet, que l’on peut trouver avec Google image, en cherchant white phosphorus falluja. Je ne peux pas savoir s’elles sont authentiques ou au moins plausibles. Certes, elles sont terrifiantes.

9 novembre : Un officier du ministère de la Défense des Etats-Unie a nié ces faits, en affirmant l’immoralité de l’emploie d’armes chimiques.

The technical name is white phosphorus. Theorically, it should only be used in the dark, in order to enlight enemy targets . In reality, it has been used as a chemical weapon in the iraqi city of Falluja. And not only against combatants and guerrillas, but against unarmed civilians.
The US troops may have become responsible of a massacre with nonconventional weapons, which is what former dictator Saddam Hussein is accused of.

A reportage on this hidden massacre has been broadcasted by RAI News on November 8th to (on the satellite Hot Bird, channel 506 of Sky and RAI 3).
Downloading from Internet here (in Italian only).
This news was published a month ago also by Manifesto: according to the reportage, also Luciana Sgrena and Enzo Baldoni (two italian journalists) were looking for informations on this affair, as they were kidnapped.
The dangerousness of white phosphorus is recognized since 100 years. Unfortunately at that time already, the prohibition, much rigorous for the European countries (artt. 1 and 2), was not applied to the colonies (art.3).
There are terrible images on Internet, than can be found through Google images, typing white phosphorus falluja. I cannot know if they are authentic or at least plausible. For sure, they are terrifying.
Sooner or later, we will have to return to considering depleted uranium, too.

Update November 9th:
US Defense Ministry officer has denied these allegations, afferming the immorality of the use of chemical weapons.

But I do know that one and one is two,
And if this one could be with you,
What a wonderful world this would be.

Now i don’t claim to be an “A” student,

Don’t know much about a science book
Don’t know much about the French I took.

And I know that if you love me too,
What a wonderful world this would be.

The Amnesty group of Alessandria (Turin) presented the book “Argentina - Una storia” [Argentine - A story], Wednesday.
It’s an interview to Manlio Macrì and his wife Marta Santillan, who tell about their lifes and the situation of Argentine before the coup d’Etat of 1976.
I’m reading it and it’s very beautiful. The narration is clear, quiet and very gentle.
