They can live 30-40 years and are solitary except for mating and parenting. Two very small populations live in Java in the Ujung Kulon National Park, and in Vietnam?s Cat Tien Park. Javans used to have the largest population of the rhinos, living in Indonesia, China, Southeast Asia and India. But the it has been driven right to the brink of extinction mainly due to poaching. The horn is in great demand for traditional chinese medicine, and one kilogram can bring $30,000. Apparently it is believed the horn when ground up can be used to ?cure? a wide range of things, some of which are not medical conditions: ?To expel fear and anxiety, to calm the liver and clear the vision.?

He and fellow Vietnam Vet, Duane Jackson, flagged down New York Police officer, Wayne Rhatigan, who took him seriously. Lance Horton, Duane Jackson: Observant Vietnam Vets Discovered Times Square Bomb [Video] These alert Americans, Horton and Jackson, who served their country in one war and now in another are the reasons the bomb did not detonate, whether or not it would have done great damage (a matter now being debated) or is a diversion from a far worse future attack.  Make no mistake, they likely saved hundreds, or even thousands, of American lives. And they were right. Three cheers for Messrs. Horton and Jackson for sticking their necks out.  Tags: heroes, terrorism, new york, islam, bombing, duane jackson, lance horton, vietnam vets zum Artikel...
