| Anybody hear about US veterans donating organs/marrow to Iraqis? |
|
Just heard a US veteran on BBC Radio 4 news saying that he's started a group of Vietnam Vets who want to donate a kidney or bone marrow to victims of the war in Iraq, in order to show that "Not all Americans are selfish people who get what they want with the barrel of a gun" and to draw attention to the unjust war and its victims.
Can't find anything on any news source about it, but it sounds like the most amazing thing in the world.
Guess what? The US administration isn't providing any help and won't even give them the telephone numbers of Iraqi hospitals.....
