A statistic that is almost unreal -- there are still an estimated 80 million unexploded US bombs in Laos. What a deep, deep atrocity. Cambodia got it almost as badly. Like Laos, more tons of bombs were dropped on tiny Cambodia than were dropped by the Allied forces in the entirety of World War II. I've told this story on HN before but I talked to some Cambodian men in Kompung Thom a few months ago who said they would salvage unexploded bombs as children and sell off the valuable parts. Up until recently 1000+ people were dying every year from land mines too, which were of course supplied by the Chinese and US governments. Cambodia has more land mine victims than any other country on earth, and you see them in the streets of Phnom Penh every day. It is sick that the United States is still selling off its stockpile of land mines.
