Quang Tri Province, Vietnam- Weapons of a decades-past war continued to claim lives and maim civilians in four separate incidents in one particularly dangerous Christmas day in Vietnam, as reported by Clear Path International. Each of the following incidents happened on December 25th.

· Two children in Vinh Linh district, near the former DMZ in Quang Tri province, Vietnam, one aged 10 and the other aged 12 were injured when an old warhead they were playing with exploded. They both sustained fragment injuries in the left thigh and one received fragments in his left hand. They are now in Vinh Linh hospital for treatment. snip

Although the Vietnam War ended nearly 30 years ago, bombs that remain in the ground still regularly claim lives and limbs. Since the war ended in 1975, nearly 40,000 Vietnamese have been killed by leftover ordnance.

2. Tiny country of 80 million loses 40,000 people to what can best be...

...described as terrorism and we hardly hear about it. 3000 people die in a country of 250 million on 9/11 and Chimpy declares war on the world with his "you are either with us or you are against us" and "axis of evil" bullshit. Where is the perspective?
