Some things we should not ever forget......Many things have happened in Asia and still happen that are grossly unfair to completely disgraceful.
What happened in Loa not so long ago dubbed the "Secret war"goes beyond disgraceful...criminal.
What was done was done by the American government! NOT by ordinary Americans who today would mostly know nothing of what went on.
This is not an Anti American thread but more a Anti big brother thread (World policeman)
I would just love people to look remember and know what went on...
What happened to a people most grievously and without remorse.....
What was done by self righteous government in the name of democracy and keeping he world safe.
Would one person who was killed have ever harmed anyone from anywhere????

Many areas in Plain of Jars, Laos are dotted with craters created by the U.S. carpet bombing during the "Secret War." This particular area around a Ban Khai village is scarred by old craters and unexploded ordnance. (Photo: Andre Vltchek)
Andre Vltchek is a novelist, journalist, and filmmaker who has traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia. This article is the first in a series to be published on Worldpress.org featuring his personal experiences while journeying in the region, and will be part of his up-coming book, "American Asia."
Plain of Jars, Laos. "It is terrible when the bomb kills the cow," says my guide and translator, Mr. Van Lorn, as we are leaving Phonsavan in Plain of Jars, driving east, towards Vietnam. "Cows like to chew on stones. Very often they dig out some old bombie and then it goes off in their mouth, tearing off the entire head of the animal."
Mr. Van Lorn belongs to the Hmong minority, and he is too young to remember the war. He seems to be indifferent to the fact that his tribe used to support the U.S. "Secret War" in this country. His allegiances lie entirely with Laos and he is talking with great compassion about those who lost their lives in the most savage bombing campaigns in the history of mankind.
