"Whilst the coalition forces were desperately trying to find “weapons of mass destruction,” at the end of the 2nd Gulf War, I decided to visit Vietnam and see the continuing effects of the US’ WMD Agent Orange. The deadly defoliant they sprayed on over 20% of the country to kill the jungle and foliage the Viet Cong were using for cover while fighting the Vietnam War. There are an estimated 650,000 victims of the poison in Vietnam, suffering from an array of baffling chronic conditions. Another 500,000 have already died. The earth where the spraying took place is still highly polluted but as yet no compensation has ever been made by the US Government. I went with two journalists from The Guardian Weekend Magazine for further information read their award winning story at- http://secrets-and-lies.co.uk"
Más allá de la falsa e inútil política esta imagen habla de injusticia, habla de inocentes... habla de niños. Nadie puede ni podrá justificar esto. Este niño vive y necesita lo mismo o más que cualquiera de nuestros hijos.
Ver como tantos políticos indecentes y tantas hienas de la prensa se sacan los ojos por nada... me da náusea.

PD: Curiosamente, Mr. Bush no hizo ninguna mención sobre el tema en su última visita a Vietnam.
