Agent Orange, cluster bombs, and napalm bombs where the orders of the day in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos by the friendly American military machine the defender of Human Rights and Crimes against Humanity.
The Americans have a lot to be ashamed of and yet they are always preaching Human Right to others. The first to loud their voices for leaders of other countries to be brought to account in front of the International Criminal Court to answer for their crimes and yet NEVER anyone of their own.
An-other war on the horizon is that with Iran because of their nuclear program. The world agrees that Iran should not have atomic bombs but we are forgetting that Israel is believed to have some 200 such bombs. Why Israel is allowed to have such a deadly arsenal? Who are they aimed to be used on? Washington is powerless when it comes to deal with Israel because the Jewish lobby controls American and European politics to such an extent that they Israel can do what they want to whom they want.

That's the way to go, well done to this joint US - Vietnamese effort. May the Vietnamese people enjoy a better and safer living environment.
The Wikipedia page about Agent Orange also refers to the other victims of this defoilating chemical, US soldiers themselves.
All that humanity.....
