People of your thinking can reference only the bombing event.Bias media ignores the refugee testimony and play the UXO card like a broken record.People who don't study Laos eventuallybelieve the media. Facts on Laos are many if you care to look.Testimony alone,we send money to laopdr relatives every month because they are poor,sick or need schooling.Our village girls run away to Thailand for work, many become prostitutes and drug dealers.Ironically,they send the most money to help their family.

BuckFarang: The Free Lao Gov (54-75) asked America for help (Kennedy-SavangVattana) in building a free and capitalist Laos. The anti-freedom, anti-Americans (communists) were just too clever in their fight. All of our friendly tactics failed so we mass bombed them. Still failed. We don't appologize because today Laotians flock to Thailand for jobs and beg us Americans for money every month.Many prostitute themselves to come to the WEST. We can't help the people because the Lao PDR is too clever.

I am so happy and please to be here in USA, i have opportunities to be sucess and succeed, have more education. I have more knowledges and most importantly to be loves by GOD. I blame the Communits and GREED for the war.
