Yep, there are still people being killed on a daily basis by ordinance dropped during the Vietnam war...BY US. Drop a bomb, some well-connected defense company makes a profit. I think we should at least make a change and drop Twinkies or maybe carrots or DVDs on occasion...spread the wealth around. Remember those Patriot Missiles during the first Gulf War? Remember all those nice fire works when they supposedly hit a Scud? The vast majority of those missiles blew themselves up and missed their target. They had a 90% failure rate but most American's don't understand that concept either. Now Bush wants to resurrect SDI which doesn't work either (too easy to foil with simple technology) purely for MONEY. Wage-earning American families supporting huge profits for well-connected non-working wealthy families like the Bushes. Pure corporate welfare.
