USA administration (current and future) should invest more of its expertise, resources and time to get rid of the UXO in Laos. The current problem was after all created by the previous US government. Laos wishes to move on from its troubled past but is being largely impeded by these terrible UXO. 35 years on, men, women and children of Laos are still being maimed or even killed by this deadly bomblets. So I urge the current US administration to own up to its responsibility.
