I'm sure those impacted by DU in Iraq will fall into the same category.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I expect the vets will have the same kind of battle getting compensation for DU as they did for Agent Orange.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9297799.post-1149686260749452582006-06-07T09:17:00.000-04:002006-06-07T09:17:00.000-04:00I'm sure you saw the item on Agent Orange in Vietn...I'm sure you saw the item on Agent Orange in Vietnam. The United States refuses to pay for those injured in Vietnam (who were children at the time) but recognizes injury, since it has compensated our own veterans.

This isn't new though, it goes at least back to Central America in the 70's. I seem to recall that some international legal body found the US guilty in the matter of the mining of the Managua harbour, and required them to pay reparation. They refused to do so, and have since felt free to gallivant around the world trying to impose their will on other nations and never ever EVER paying for what they destroy. I'm sure that pattern will hold true in Iraq. So much for Colin Powell's 'Pottery Barn rule'!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
