	Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips Lies, Lies, Lies are we gullible? clipped by: skwirlinator Clip Source: www.whatreallyhappened.com THE LIE OF THE CENTURY There is nothing new in a government lying to their people to start a war. Indeed because most people prefer living in peace to bloody and horrific death in war, any government that desires to initiate a war usually lies to their people to create the illusion that support for the war is the only possible choice they can make. President McKinley told the American people that the USS Maine had been sunk in Havana Harbor by a Spanish mine. Hitler used this principle of lying to his own people to initiate an invasion. FDR claimed Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack. President Johnson lied about the Gulf of Tonkin to send Americans off to fight in Vietnam. SO HERE IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO So, I want YOU to copy this article off, post it everywhere. Tags: lies, politics, govt, hidden reasons zum Artikel... Anzeige US cluster bombs still blasting Laotian children clipped by: masbury clippers remarks: 10 million US bomblets still litter Laos; children 40% of victims; click for "What can you do" - excellent forms Clip Source: www.banminesusa.org On April 30, 1975 Saigon fell to North Vietnamese forces, finally ending U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. From 1964 to 1973 the United States dropped 90 million cluster bomblets on neighboring Laos in 580,000 bombing missions?equivalent to one planeload every 8 minutes, 24 hours-a-day, for 9 years. Up to 30% of the cluster bomblets failed to detonate, leaving as many as 25-30 million unexploded bomblets covering more than one-third of Laos at war?s end. It is estimated that there are at least 10 million cluster submunitions still littering the land. In the years since, as many as 12,000 civilians?an estimated 40% of them children?have been killed or maimed, with hundreds of new casualties each year. In addition, cluster bomblets hamper basic food production and economic development in Laos, one of the poorest countries in the world. According to the UN Development Program, at current funding levels the cluster bomb removal program may take up to 100 years to complete. What can YOU do? Tags: cluster bombs, war zum Artikel...
