Shaunie asked me a while ago how I am doing. Well, not good is the answer. My illness causes me a lot of pain. What it mainly does is dissolving my joints. Ever been pierced by a nail or similar? That is the kind of pain I have in every joint.
Now consider that the human body has more than 200 joints.
Then think of having that 24/7.
Welcome to my world.
Now: Laos
During the Vietnam War American forces made just under 600 000 bomb raids over Laos. This is Laos alone, not including Vietnam itself. They dropped two million metric tons of explosives over Laos. Only two thirds have detonated. Large parts of the country are still dangerous to travel, and not a week passes without anybody getting killed.
I don't blame the Vietnam Vets. They only did what they were told. The sin is upon the head of those who sendt them to this unjust war.
What many fail to understand is that Ho Chi Minh was the democraticly elected president of Vietnam, while the guy the US supported was a dictator. Why American soldiers were sendt to protect democracy by supporting a dictator is beyond me.
