"...between 1962 and 1971, american warplanes poured 18 million gallons of the poison onto vietnamese jungles to to destroy food and cover for vientnamese fighters. but the destructive power the chemists wrought was not confined to plants. today, perhaps three million vietnamese suffer cancer or birth deformities as a result.
the horrors of agent orange are all the more sickening when revealed in closer detail. in hospitals in ho chi minh city, there are children with heads the shape of warped gourds, missing parts of their brains. others missing eyes or limbs, their stumps twisted like tangled vines..." ~ dee hon, adbusters 74
it is always the innocent that truly suffer.
victims tried to gain compensation from america, the court dismissed all the evidence, and claimed that agent orange hasnt caused more then skin irritations.
my drawing is from a photograph of a vietnamese baby girl, with deformities cause by the poison of agent orange. look at the drawing, does that look like a skin irritation to you?
"...lawyers have argued that if the agent orange victims win, it will set a dangerous precedent that hinders how america wages war..."
so americans see war as a good thing, because you can make a mess but you dont have to clean it up? that disgusts me, its pathetic and theres no logic in that, its a juvenile way of thinking. america needs to grow up, and own up to their mistakes. there can be no justice if people truly think that way.
so heres a question where is the justice? it doesnt just stop with vietnamese victims it goes on and on to the middle east as well. something major has to be done, people need to find morality, it seems to be lost in the american society.
