A third generation of Vietnamese suffering deformities (http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/tom_fawthrop/2008/02/agent_of_suffering.html)

three-year-old Xuan Minh, believed to be suffering from the effects of Agent Orange, looks out from his hospital bed in Ho Chi Min.
Not only are Vietnamese still maimed from treading on unexploded bombs, they are also victims of this insidious scourge that poisons water and food supplies, causing various cancers and crippling deformities. Eighty million litres of Agent Orange were sprayed on the jungles of Vietnam, destroying swathes of irreplaceable rainforest through massive defoliation and leaving a toxic trail of dioxin contamination in the soil for decades. The legacy of this chemical warfare can even be inflicted on the unborn, with Agent Orange birth deformities now being passed on to a third generation.
When people say we must stay the course in Iraq, I usually wonder why? didn't they say the same bullshit about Vietnam? Did it matter? Am I really so scared of some village idiots in a cesspool of a country half way around the world. Answer: No. I just HATE the fact that some f*ckers at Halliburton are getting RICH off this God Damn war. Cheney's close friends to be exact. All that money wasted. Lives Wasted. Marriages Wasted. Children Wasted. All for nothing.
That child is the end result of scare mongering 30 years ago. Looks like that road to hell is a little longer than we thought huh?
